Rinaina,
I, too, was absolutely miserable following my first rx with A/C. I took phenergan and ativan and got really crazy. I do not remember which med they gave me for pre treatment but it did not work. However, before the next treatment I got Emend. I never experienced any of the crap I did the first time. However I did experience tremendous fatigue, lost hair at 2 week, had to be hospitalized for 4 days after treatment 3 - NO White Cells and very low hemoglobin. Procrit for that! I ran a fever throughout chemo but it fluctuated tremendously. So I tended to ignore it since I really had no other symptoms. About the hair loss. I found that being bald did not bother me or for that matter anyone else. I was not interested in a wig and I couldn't find a hat that fit so I just "shined on". My hair came back curly and I love it! I am now almost 1 year post chemo, finished rads on 9/29. Started Herceptin 7/19. Last dose is to be July 11. MUGA actually improved inspite of Herceptin. Am currently NED and enjoying life to the fullest. Hoping and praying things go well for you through out this ordeal.
