On the same path as you right now, started chemo Nov 8th. I keep saying to myself that the chemo is hurting the cancer more than me. It’s tough and exhausting but it’s doable. I got hiccups from 2am till 7am for three nights on my first round, they ended up giving me some sleeping tablets for the second round and that has really helped (Zopiclone 7mg), just a few hiccups on drinking fluids but the sleep helped. I was told hiccups are from the steroids rather than chemo. Today, I am on day 8 of round 2 and just coming out of the sickness. Once that sickness has gone you just seem to forget it ever happened. Listen to your Oncologist, take your anti-sickness meds and wait it out, all you can do. Good luck to you and if it’s anything my second round has seemed easier.
