have you called your oncologist? My side effects have been minimal. I sleep a lot after the Neulasta shot by day 2. Tell us what's bothering you and we can give you more specific info on staying positive and to minimize the se.

Jan, you should call your oncologist whenever you feel bad. I didn't have chemo, so, I am not much help for giving advice.
Good luck and feel better soon,

I felt crummy too
for at least the first week. I took the anti-nausea meds the first 2 days after treatment and that helped, but I did feel queasy and only wanted to eat starch like pasta with some butter. After the neulasta shot, I had bone aches and slept alot. My worst days were days 4, 5 & 6. I was constipated and my onc told me to start using Miralax which really helps (gently). Each treatment brought different side effects for me (I've had 4 of 6 so far). I'm on T-C once every 3 weeks. The meds make a difference as to the side effects.
Call your onc. No question is too small or trivial. My onc said he could treat any side effect as long as I told him.
It isn't pleasant, but you'll make it through and get better at it!
Good Luck,

Jan, The achy...body hurt feeling could be from the nuelesta shot. As for your stomach problems, did you take your emend as directed? If you get constipated try Activia (yogart). It worked great for me. Gingerale or ginger tea will help your stomach.
Hope you feel better soon.
Keep us posted.

Chemo wasn't part of my treatment, but, I hope you feel better soon. How many treatments do you have to take?
