Re: Just Getting Started
Hi Stephen~
I just finished my last of 6 TCHP chemo treatments last week. I have to say that each of the 6 times I felt completely different. Nausea and fatigue has been my primary side-effect, but not so much that it incapacitated me (I've not missed a day of work). Water, gatoraid, and naps were what has helped me the most.
Has she done the genetic testing? I would think that would definitely help with the surgery decision down the road. You've found the place to be for support and answers to questions from women who have "been there and are doing that"! Hang in there...it's one heck of a ride
