Hi embur102,
I LOVE your picture by the way. I had nausea during AC (really like constant morning sickness) but I went through chemo in 2005 (in Georgia). Needless to say I took a lot of nausea pills (which the nurses told me to do- if I even had an inkling that I might have nausea but wasn't sure!). I thought it was very interesting that the writers gave Kristina some relief from her illness in that way. I noticed (last episode but I still loved it, of course) that radiation but not Herceptin (unless I missed it) was mentioned. Of course, the Herceptin would have already started so perhaps no need to mention at that time and I really think it would have been "too much" (from the writers' perspective) to think a general audience would get the concept of a targeted therapy. Still, it would have been nice to educate. Really ready for the next season already! Will probably watch this past season again.
