Well John it looks like there is some light at the end of the tunnel at last,and a definate start date which is great.Iwould worry less about what might happen,and prepare yourself for what is definately going to happen.For every question about side effects that you post here you will get half a dozen different answeres its not one size fits all treatment.
Ask your doctors all the questions you need answering before you go into treatment,and then just get your mind set for the ride.
good luck my friend and keep in touch.
love Liz.
