Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Hi angel: The side effects stay the same but you learn to live with them. I couldn't even climb a flight of stairs when I was on treatment. Just remember, it is a form of chemotherapy, and you cannot expect that your life will be the same while you are doing treatment. Make sure you get enough nutrition and a lot of rest. You are doing the right thing, even though it is a tough road.
