Christie,

So glad that you updated us on how you are doing. Congratulations on your children's success!

Zofran or Emend are both good nausea meds. Just be sure to take your meds BEFORE you start feeling bad. You need to stay ahead of the nausea, its harder to deal with once you are sick.

I know you may not feel like eating, but try your best. You really will feel better if you stay well hydrated and eat semi-well.

You will make it thru treatment, and it will be behind you soon. Herceptin is a breeze compared to your initial chemos.

Keep us posted on how you are doing.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
