Besides the extreme N&V after the first dose, nausea for a few days after the next 2 doses and the usually taste and lack of appetite problems and hair loss so far so good. As far as I can tell I have no lasting effects yet. I take that back, I get an occasional ringing in my ear, and I mean very occasional, maybe once a week for less than an hour. And I get a tingling in my left shoulder blade sometimes that the docs don't seem to think is connected to any of the treatment but it was never there before.
