I'm right in the middle of the TCH treatment, and it has been pure hell for me as well. Right now I'm 8 days from my last treatment and I still can't keep any food down. I had to be given 2 infusions this week at the oncologists office because dehydration. He wanted to admit me in to the hospital yesterday but I refused because I can't miss anymore work.
Had I known it was going to be like this I think I would have declined treatment.
Sorry for the whine...
