Each Cycle Of Tch Get Easier?
No I am NOT complaining here...But I just finished my fourth round of TCH and I have a RIght Modified Radical Mastectomy scheduled for Late April and then last two rounds of TCH followed by the year of hereceptin....My qestion is...with the first three cycles I was so sick.... never had been that sick in my life... tired, achey, throwing up both ends, runny nose, dry eyes, that good ole metal taste in the mouth.etc.... But this time I am just feeling really tired and maybe a little achey.... does it get easier with each one? DOes the body get use to having poison in it.... and adjust automatically? DOes that mean that when I take this time off for my surgery and wait another 4 weeks for my body to heal before they start those two remaining cycles.... that it will hit me that hard again? Getting anxious, nervous and yet ready to get this cancer out of my body.
