My hubby had 7 chemo treatments on each Monday during his radiation. He had Cisplatin and Taxol. It thinned his hair, but no real hair loss. He had problems with acid reflux and some major constipation in the beginning, all of which got under control with different meds. He was fine on Monday and Tuesday, but he got weaker and more tired Wed.-Fri. He got better over the weekend in time to start it all over again. However, the chemo seemed like a walk in the park compared to the radiation (he wasn't able to have IMRT).
Take care and God bless,
Debbie
