Lynne,
I just finished the TCH chemo. For the first 10 days after the chemo I felt badly off and on but my symptoms ended with the chemo. The second 10 days of the cycle were totally fine. My oncologist was concerned about neuropathy in the hands and feet but luckily I didn't have that problem. I'm waiting for my hair to grow now. I'll do anything to combat this disease. Good luck with your decision.
