Re: Taxotere Carboplatin Herceptin Side Effects

be sure to tell your oncologist everything. there is so many meds now so you dont get sick. if you expereince pain in joints or anywhere tell doc and get meds to ease the pain. There is no reason so suffer as we were told they did back in the day. i drank lots of water but when i had issues with cramping stomach or direahha, i told my nurse and she advised me what to take and it worked. i had popsicles for snacks and when i started my 2nd phase of chemo with taxotere, i ate cup of soup cause my stomach was so tender in the beginning. Good luck to you. Bonita
