We all wondered the same questions as you before treatment began. Like said above everyone is different, I had no real symptoms until about week six of seven. My doc said I was very lucky as most people are pretty uncomfortable by the end of week 3.
Since we are all different and there is really no way to tell how it will be for you, it might be best to just wait and let it arrive when and if it does. No matter what, you are going to go through the treatment and endure whatever happens, so why worry about it now.
We all got through it and you will too.
Stay strong, stop worrying
