Hi Z -
My mother underwent this treatment plan from last Summer through Thanksgiving.
Her hair thinned a bit but nothing too bad at all.
Sometimes she was delayed in her treatments because her blood counts were low but they would give her some counter-acting meds to help.
Definately needed anti-nausea to be included with the drips. One time they neglected to use benadryl (or whatever anti-nausea meds they use) and she was quite sick the next couple of days. But, when they gave her the anti-nausea meds she was usually fine. Some diarrhea at points but helped a lot by Immodium.
It affected her taste buds a bit but nothing that was too difficult to work around.
Her biggest complaint was fatigue. She was just worn out by the end but she never got sick (flu or cold).
Finally, as you can see, something is working because her last PET scan, thankfully, shows clear.
All of these treatments are so individual but, overall, Mom's experience during the treatments was tolerable and the results have been excellent.
Best wishes! Meghan
