Hello Chris,

What type of radiation are you receiving? It helps in determining what type of side effects you may or may not experience. We all seem to react a little differently to the same type of treatment.
The chemo may make you tired, you may lose your hair, Your blood numbers will jump all over for awhile. No one really can tell you how your body will react to your treatment. As you get further in to treatment keep posting and share your experiences. Hoping you end up with few side effects and have a full recovery.

Best Wishes, danny Boy
