neo adjuvent chemotherapy

hi ladies,
just wanted some support from any ladies that have had their chemo first like myself ??
I have grade 3 in my left boob,that appears to have spread to the lymph nodes,its multifocal invasive.I was just wondering if there are any ladies out there like myself,that whilst they were having their chemo,seemed to suffer more on the affected side,guaranteed all my aches and pains are far more severe on the left and i can barely lift my left leg and left arm,is this common ? what is it ?? why is it happening ? do the lymph nodes in the left affect just ur left side ?? sorry so many questions !!
Thanks in advance
sharon
