Hi @Kara
No question on here is silly. If you need to ask, then ask.
Yes everyone will react differently to treatment as we are all individuals and come into it from different physical and mental capacity. I had weekly Paclitaxel on a Thursday, side effects of nausea and diarrhoea started that evening. The sleep was awful probably due to steroids. Fatigue and aches were from Saturday.
My main advice is, if it doesn’t feel right then call your helpline and check. Better to get something early. Well done tracking symptoms, easier to check for red flags.
Have you joined the monthly chemo starters thread? This is the link for October, there is one each month so you can share and moan with others starting chemo in the same month as you.
Thinking of you.
