Hello everyone! I have a question: which round of chemotherapy is the worst? Will symptoms ( fatigue, headache etc) get worse after every cycle of chemotherapy or you can tolerate it easier each cycle?

Chemotherapy experiences vary greatly from person to person, and there's no single "worst" round that applies to everyone. Some people find the first few cycles more challenging as their body adjusts, while others may experience cumulative effects that build over time. Your medical team can provide specific insights about your treatment plan and help manage any symptoms that arise. What matters most is communicating openly with your healthcare providers about how you're feeling so they can support you through each cycle.
