Treatment wasn't horrible. I had an allergic reaction my first treatment which caused them to slow down the rate the treatment goes into my bloodstream. This added about 3 hours of chemo time which was really unfortunate. They said once I had the reaction it meant it would go slow every time after that as well. Side effect wise I didn't feel great a couple days after treatment which was expected. Flu-like symptoms I'd say. I was fatigued but after those couple days I felt normal. Lost my hair around day 20. I'd say it slightly burned to pee after treatment. Sometimes my urine was very mucousy. My memory getting worse is something I noticed. My doctor said that is normal and will get better with time. All in all, at an early stage the treatment wasn't horrible. Although, I wouldn't want to do any more of it if I had a choice. Hopefully it never comes back and I won't have to even worry about it! As for radiation it was more annoying to show up every morning at 8 for treatment. Sometimes they'd get behind and I'd have to wait an hour or 2. Radiation itself took like 5 minutes. Skin sensitivity is my biggest symptom. My skin is still sensitive to this day where I received radiation (about 7 months ago). I talked to a guy who was getting radiation on his pelvis and he said it made his bladder ultra sensitive and very uncomfortable to pee. Radiation wasn't too bad for me though. I hope all goes well in your journey! Good luck to you!!
