My friend just finished a regime of this and had a complete response, the tumour was almost gone and she just had a bilat mast and is recovering well with some months of herceptin to follow. As has already been said, the anti nausea meds are a preventative so take them even if you feel you don't need them as its easier to prevent than stop once it begins. My friend had major fatigue so do rest when your body tells you to and I wish you well on this regime.
