Dear marcosmom, Different chemotherapy regimens do have different side effects associated with them. It is impossible to predict absolutely how an individual person will respond to a particular drug. In general single agents might be better tolerated than combination chemotherapy. If you'd like to learn more about the side effects of a particular chemotherapy check out the website www.chemocare.com. You can find more information about specific chemotherapies, side effects, and side effect management.
