Terri ~

Sweetie, this is an easy one for me. Take the meds. Of course this is only my opinion and folks may disagree but I did have weekly taxol/herceptin for 12 weeks. Also, take the pain pills BEFORE you start aching. I found this out the hard way and tried to catch up. It took me until week #6 before I premedicated myself with the pain pills. I always took the antinausea because that was not a catch up that I wanted to try. I had extreme nausea with pregnancies (but this was caused from hormones...which is different). I never had a bad stomach with the flu, car rides, boats and everything else.

Hugs ~ Ruth
