Side effects-THP

Hi ladies!

I know there are numerous threads that address my questions but I am just too lazy to look for them right now. I appreciate your patience~

I started a new chemo regimen Monday---Taxotere, Herceptin and Perjeta, to treat liver metastasis. I have also been on heavy steroids for brain mets (16mg/day)for the past two weeks, now weaning down to 12mg, next week 8mg, etc until I see neuro oncologist on Dec 15.

Side effects of chemo hit me hard....fatigue is phenomenal, cough, raw mouth,and skin changes already hitting. I'm chalking it up to the body already being beaten up/broken down from the steroids.

I'm doing all the standard stuff---mouth rinse, lotions, rest, fluids, supplements, movement as tolerated, ....anyone have any more ideas, tips,suggestions?
I find you ladies often have better remedies than the docs,

Thank you thank you thank you.

Love to you all,
