Chemo side effects already ? Or my over stimulated brain? Lol
I'm only 2 full days post my first chemo session, and I'm noticing small things already 😄 Bone pain, belly pain, mouth tenderness, and swallowing needs a little more thought than it used too lol ...
It’s just possible that your hugely heightened sense of your body makes you feel things you might ordinarily not register. Reactions to chemo are immensely variable and also don’t eradicate the normal variations we all get for a range of reasons. I had more noticeable side effects on Taxol than A/C ( most report the opposite) and side effects didn’t get worse as I progressed, but then I never had fatigue. It’s hard not to worry isn’t it, although worrying never helped anyone and may cause more odd symptoms! No matter how much we like to plan and be prepared, cancer and cancer treatment is a salutary lesson in one day at a time. Best wishes.
