Re: Newbie!

Hi Mickey and welcome, if you check out the newcomers forum you'll find others starting this with you, I did the A/C/T/H and I'm eight years out now and continue to take Arimidex up to ten, although by the time I get there it may be for fifteen!!

I just wanted to wish you well with your treatments and if you have any questions feel free to ask, I found chemo to be no picnic but do able and once you take you take your anti nausea meds (even if you feel you dont need them) you should be fine as its easier to prevent nausea than stop if it starts. I also drank water during and after the infusion which helped and just ate little and often as had no appetite, good luck and keep us posted!
