Kathleen,
What a great sister you are to do the homework for your sister. Support is so important. I can only comment on the TCH cocktail. I found it unpleasant but doable. I worked and only missed 1 day from side effects from chemo. I missed a total of maybe 2 weeks all together and that was due to surgeries. I would have my treatment on thursdays, would feel fine on friday and by saturday would feel pretty crappy thru all of sunday and sometimes on monday. By tuesday I was bouncing back but was a hermit due to my immune system and white blood count. I avoided crowds and didn't have any set back at alls. I work in a doctors office so I kept my office door shut alot and used alot of purel. I think the TCH is standard of care and I think you have normally 6 treatments of that and only 4 of the other. I am told both are comparable. I hope all goes well for her. Someone will chime in I am sure on the other. Good luck and god bless you both. Darlene
