I'm almost 3 weeks post my first chemo and will start my next round on Friday. I was the same as you and always second guessing my symptoms. I had bad bone pain and muscle aches (like I was coming down with the flu) within a few hours of giving myself the injection 24hrs after chemo. That lasted 3-4 days then gradually subsided. No nausea thank god but a bitter taste in my mouth the following week. This week I feel good physically (little tired and emotional) but just noticed this morning my hair is shedding. I'm using a cooling cap for chemo but it was still confronting. And now I'll just stress about that too. I think half the battle is trying to stay positive but also preparing yourself for the next symptom so it doesn't shock you too much. It's hard.
