One down and 5 to go...
Hello all, I had my first chemo on Friday Nov 30/07. I only barfed twice. I have been so nauseated for the last 4 days. I guess I need to get over the mind over matter thing and take the meds. I took the Kytril and the metoclopramide for the first two days as Rx. But I still need some of the Meto daily. I just hope that the first one is the worst and that now that I know what to expect that I can do the rest.
