Minnie,

I responded to this thread a while back when you described your chemo regimen. I realize now when thinking back on my husband's experience that it is very different and very difficult when you get the multi-chemo regimens that you are having as each drug does different things and has different side effects. I had mentioned before that the first one really hit my husband hard but the second and third were easier as he knew what to expect and took all of the things you mentioned such as the anti-nausea arsenal and knew that he would feel pretty bad for about 5 days and then feel better. It sounds as if his nausea was more easily controlled than yours but in retrospect, it was a very difficult course of treatment. I'm so sorry you have to go through this but it really worked in his case - and he had some respite between treatments.
