Standard chemo (Adriamicin, Cytotoxin, etc.) start to work nearly instantly. Putting it simply, they target the fastest growing cells, which typically are malignant cells. You're on your way to recovery the moment the meds hit your bloodstream.

∙ 11y agoI heard that it takes three to four days for side effects to occur for chemo therapy patients but, my Mom started getting hers on the second day after her first treatment. I read in an article on the web that if a patient starts a protein diet at least a week before chemo therapy the side effects may be minimized.

Which is a likely resulting of taking LSD?
If taking a dose of LSD above 50 mcg effects will be felt. These effects range from positive, such as a sense of enlightenment, appreciation of colors and music, to negative, such as jaw clenching and panic attacks. If taking a ridiculously high dose HPPD can be developed (but since you're asking this question I wouldn't consider it). Long term effects are close to none except the memory of the experience (whether positive or negative). For a very small percentage of users the experience can have long lasting mental effects (<1%) such as flash backs or uncovering mental illnesses.

What can chemotherapy do to you?
One of my best friends is on her fifth round of chemo, and she says it feels like your dead. She said it's like being a zombie. It's so sad... Yes, chemo can make you feel very, very ill. I had six rounds of chemo and was VERY fortunate to have almost none of the symptoms usually associated with it (nausea, weight loss, etc.). I was just extremely tired and had no energy whatsoever, and all of my hair fell out. On the upside, I have been cancer-free for over a year!
