Hello Christie-
So glad all your scans are clear... I know the worrying can be brutal on the spirit.
The chemo... well - you will be amazed at how much your body can tolerate. Stomach problems (if you mean nausea) can be avoided by taking anti-nausea meds. Especially before you go to get more chemo. Its all about timing and you can prevent a lot of the ill side effects if you pre-empt with meds. Take them before the chemo.
At this point you are probably beginning to lose some of your apetite. When you get to feeling better load up on protein and lots of water. Be very careful about getting constipated too. I did not know how bad constipation could be !!! Ask your onc for anti-nausea meds if you don't already have them.
You are already half-way through your chemo... later on, the Herceptin will be a breeze.
Hang in there !
