Pain medication--insist on it!

I was on taxol, but quit after two rounds. I had very bad nauseau (for which I was given no meds) and pain (also for which I had no meds) even thought I asked before the first infusion for something. Oncologist said take Ibuprofen. I'm sure if I'd had an easier time of it, without the nausea and the pain I would have finished the four rounds. I cut off my nose to spite my face and refused to discuss with my oncologist-- just quit. And I'm sorry now that I did. Don't be foolish like me, make sure you have whatever you'll need to get through it. And I'm sure you will, so many others have before you.

Good luck.
