are you on the Leunasta Onpro? That's the first set of side effects that come up. If you are, I assume they told you that you should have already started Claritin for the bone pain. My experience...(I had infusion on Fridays also) was that I was fine until Monday when the Leunasta hit in....then...without Claritin....I was ready to find my plug and pull it. Luckily, they called that afternoon(Monday) and told me about it. They said they were sorry that they forgot to tell me. I ran and got it...and was 90% improved in about an hour. It was my savior.

If you're not on Leunasta....side effects won't start for a while(in my case anyway)...and they are not as bad as the bone pain....loss of hair on head, in my nostrils..under my arms...my legs...my crotch...(I got a wig for there...LOL)...and I only felt minimal nausea during the fun...never lost a pound. But I did have days when only certain foods didn't make me un-appetized. I ate what felt good. Sometimes it was hamburgers, sometimes it was shakes...sometimes...chips. It was NOT usually veggies and broiled fish or anything wholesome sounding.

Good luck and hopefully you'll be side effect free (or at least minimal)
