Well, I'm over half way through my treatment and seem to be coping OK. The side effects have been confined to some hair thinning so I've gone to a number 1 cut, tiredness, and an upset tummy from time to time, and a bit of "extra special" wind early in the cycle. I've put on a couple of extra kilos, which is probably some fluid retention. Overall, it hasn't been as bad as I expected, and here's a recent photo.
