Chemo treatment nurses have to inform you of every single possible side effect. Many times it doesn't happen or if it does its not in the huge severity list of things. They will do the first dose very slowly and watch you closely for any of the worst effects. I had none. Its nice not to be special and just go through with no drama. Over ensuing days and weeks you may get some side effects which are mostly just your old cells dying and hopefully a heap of any cancer ones as well. It doesn't happen all at once and you should be able to cope with each odd quirk of a side effect. You can always contact your chemo dept or your breast nurse if you have any questions or need to be seen. I keep a thermometer and check my temp regularly so I know although I might be having some side effects, my temps not up and its nothing serious. It puts my mind at ease.
