Hey, girl, get some meds for the migranes and the pain. Whatever you need! I did Taxol, Herceptin and Carboplatin and had basically the same side effects. Just call the doctor and get what you need to get those last 3 done. It does get better after # 2....also, we know we're 1/2 way there and get committed to "just do it"! Best wishes and take care of yourself. I'll be cheering for ya to have Much Better days ahead! It is worth it!!!!! ma
