This medicine can be rough, but we need the *+!&*(& stuff. I can't add any advice to the excellent info the other ladies have given. I had adriamycin/cytoxan and then Taxol and Herceptin. I lived on ice cream and spent a lot of time on the sofa staring at the TV. One year later I need a new sofa. The springs are shot. If there is any time to pamper yourself and be good to yourself, this is it.
