Here is a link I found that is pretty interesting with regards to the combo of chemo drugs I am on. Very informative, and holding true so far:

Second Chemo: Check!
I'm 1/4 of the way done! The chemo session was pretty uneventful and I was feeling pretty good until last night. My lovely headache side effect kicked in during the late afternoon and I've had it ever since. Didn't get much sleep last night, and I'm still in bed hoping it will eventually go away. Stomach is a bit unhappy, but nothing too major. I'm hanging in there.
No crash from coming off the Prednisone yet (unless that is what is causing the headache). Maybe I'll luck out and my head won't spin around in circles like everyone has been telling me?
As for the hair, I noticed a LOT in the shower the other day. I'm thinking it might be partially in my mind because the doctor told me last Monday that I should start to see some hair thinning after my second treatment. I'll see what happens next time I wash it. It might be fine!
