I was forturnate, the Chemo did not make me sick. As Jim said, just feel the needle jab for the Chemo drip. The radiation itself feels like nothing - I took a 15 minute nap during my radiation treatments. It is the after affects of the radiation that you feel. Fatigue, fatigue and more fatigue and difficulty eating were my main side affects. I was lucky. Others can tell you what they experienced.
