@LittleDuck as everyone says it's a bit of an unknown. Your first will give you an indication of what the rest will be like but I would not assume that you will be at Uni a couple of days later. For me, my first was dreadful, but that had more to do with me not realising that I could ring the nurses on the weekend and get better anti-nausea medication (Maxolon was no better than Smarties). So, take someone with you on the first visit in case you need something that will prevent you from driving - I did. Ring the centre if the medication they've sent home with you doesn't cut it. Some people have absolutely no issues but I don't think that it's uncommon to be out to it to some degree for until Day 6 or 7, then you'll probably start to come good. 2nd & 3rd AC not so bad, possibly because it's more expected. I'm currently getting over number 4 which has knocked me a bit more with the nausea again. Good Luck
