What would you do?
You guys have been great in giving advise and tips to all us newbies. I have one for you to analyze (did i spell that right?).....
Picture if you had NEVER had chemo before, so you don't know how your body is going to react.
You are going to be taking your first chemo treatments on a WEEKLY cycle so the doses should be smaller and more tolerable. You have a strong stomach, and don't get sick very often. You did not have morning sickness with any of your pregnancies....
You are hearing all the advise to take your anti-nausea meds BEFORE your treatment to "stay ahead" of possible nausea. Knowing the anti-nausea meds will knock you out cold, Here's the $10,000 question:
Would you chance it the first time & see how your body handles it? Or would you take the anti-nausea meds anyway?
