Welcome to a network that nobody wants to belong to. You will get lots of support here.
I have been on this roller coaster for 7 years but still remember the initial feeling of being scared, unsure, anxious and just plain unfair, why me. It does get easier as you start doing something proactive like chemo and a routine starts to develop. Take each day as it comes and whatever you are feeling is right, there are no wrongs. Side effects will vary depending on drugs and you. But expect to be tired, I had a really foggy head for a few days after treatment and taste buds will probably be just plain wrong. Listen to your body and rest when you need to. If side effects too bad talk to oncology nurses and they will try to find something to help. They are amazing.
But know you are not alone and won't experience or feel something that someone else hasn't. So if unsure or have questions just ask.
You are stronger than you think.
