I have to agree with Chelee that it is hard to isolate which drug is causing what side effect! I never had nausea. My blood counts got low towards the end. I had some neuropathy and drank Glutamine as directed by my onc.
I do recall that one of the docs I consulted with (prior to deciding what therapy I was going to do) did suggest that I have "TCH without the Carboplatin" since he thought it was the harshest of the 3. But they seem to always be prescribed together and I did not want to dilute the effect.
The bottom line is that we are all going to have different reactions. No way of predicting. All in all, I came through it pretty well. And I wish the same for you. Keep the faith.
