Hi Angela,
I am sorry that you have to go back on chemo. I recently completed TCH
Carboplatin Taxel and herceptin....

It went faily well - I experienced small amount of fatique and nausea, of course lost my hair. Did not loose my eyelashes and brows until after the last treatment. (Had six) now I am on herceptin for one year.

Also after last treatment I did have some numbness in my toes. Dr. said this
will last from 6 - 9 months. A little bit of discoloration on my toe nails, a dark
yellow (but that is also clearing up). Some joint and muscle aches that would
last a few days. Your taste buds will have a foul taste sort of like metal, but
it will depend on what you are eating, sweeter type foods will taste bitter
and salty type foods will taste strange. I found that oatmeal was a good
food choice and ice-cream worked well - water was especially strange tasting. Hot tea worked well.

Hope this helps - stay in touch and best of luck with your treatments.

Sending you all good wishes and Blessings,
Jean
