Forgot to mention in case you do not have time to read all of these posts...
drink plenty of water even during treatment, ask for a sleepaid because the decadron will wire you, take your anti nausea (zofran or tigan etc)meds each AM BEFORE you need them, and some suggest Biotene to prevent mouth sores. I worked the entire time, neer missing a day, but your body will dicatate what you can and can not do. As a professor, if you plan on working ask for Neulasta to keep your WBC up. Effects normall sow up 2-3 days later. I had my treatments on Thursday so that I could have the weekend to take it easy. You can do this... it is one of the more doable regiments available.
Keep the faith,
Melinda
