first i just want to say how sorry i am to here u have cancer. is a horrible illness. i have never had chemo or radiation but i have seen wat it can do to ppl. it is very scarey. everyone takes it differently. some get really sick- vomiting, lethargic etc. some can go for awhile before they show any signs. your imune system will be very low so you got to be careful not to pick up any viruses or you can end up very very ill. just have ppl around u , find something to help comfort u during the time. u may or may not loose ur hair. most do. and it can be scarey. when my friend lost hers we all got cool bandanas and wore them all the time. its not going to be easy, there will be days u want to stop. as long as u got support it will help.
