Hi there, I am one of the "bouncers"! Not entirely, I did have some side effects but I lived a pretty normal life through chemo. I did lose my hair and chose to wear a wig, but no nausea, no fatigue, no chemo brain. I worked as usual, with a small amount of time out for treatments. Unfortunately there's no real way of knowing how you will react (chemo effects are real, not imagined, but vary immensely) until you start. Remember your own words, it may be proposed as beneficial for you. Knowing that really does help get you through. Best wishes.
