thank you so much. Believe me, I am following all the instructions. I feel more like myself today, and Im feeling pretty positive about going back to work tomorrow. Is there a time when I quit taking the antinausea medication on the schedule, or will this be routine the entire three weeks between treatments?

I've been afraid to let any nausea get ahead of me. Heard it was easier to keep it under control rather than try to get it back under control.

Thank you so much everyone for holding my hand through all this...I hope one day I will be able to do the same for someone else.
