Hi Ladies,

I just finished taxotere and carboplatin (with Herceptin) as adjuvant chemo after AC. I was dx stage 3C in 5/05. I had nausea and vomiting even with all the meds, so they upped my dose of decadron with the last two chemo. My stomach was VERY bloated and distended. It was very uncomfortable and I can really sympathize with you. I also gained 15 lbs. in a few days, all water weight. It did come off quickly for me after I stopped with the steroids. I found that avoiding carbonated beverages helped tremendously.
