Every cancer is different. It is not one size fits all! No diagnosis or treatment will be the same. So this list of side effects are what I feel during chemo.

Hair loss-everywhere

Metal Taste- nothing tastes the same and lemon tends to ease the taste.

Tired-the day of chemo always makes me tired then around the 3-4 day the chemo effects kick in

Retaining water- could Be side effects of other meds

Blood sugar- my blood sugar has gone up to 350! Insulin dependent now.

Aches- I get severe aches in my bones especially after Leukine shots! My ribs, elbows, joints, you name it it aches.

Weight gain- some get to lose weight and some gain. I’m the later. It’s not fun. On top of not feeling great I’m uncomfortable.

Finger nails are tender

Mouth sores- skin just falls out and you can’t eat spicy foods

Breathing-I get short of breath just getting out of a chair sometimes. During chemo my breathing gets labored.

Constipation/diarrhea-yes both, never sure how your meals will effect you.

Nose bleeds-

Facial rash-

Insomnia- especially on Sundays prior to chemo. Can’t get more then 4-5 hours of sleep

Skin changes-dryness and pealing

Good times! But all is temporal and I will be healed! I am blessed.
