Hi Jen
I had the same chemo as you and didn't really notice a difference until after my 3rd round. Like you I was checking often waiting for change and after 2 rounds my oncologist ordered another MRI. From that he was able to show me the changes even though I couldn't feel them at that point. It was a little reassurance. Maybe you could discuss this with your team at your next chemo in a few days. They can often notice things before we can. Good luck.
