Marie,
I'm so sorry to hear the news but it's not all bad. Brain is good and no organ involvement -- both positive. I had A/C when I was first diagnosed. I strongly recommend EMEND for the nausea it worked for me and I was never vomiting. Also drink plenty of fluids. Since the Adrymiacin is via IV push bbring some popsicles for Ed to suck on while he's getting the "red devil." The main problem I had was mouth sores which I got a prescription mouthwash for. Also my counts dropped -- but that seems to happen to me no matter what chemo I'm on. Hang tough. Ed can get through this and hopefully NED.
