Re: First TCH treatment - abdominal pain
Hey girl!
I did Taxotere with Adriamycn, but I did do Taxol, Carboplatin and Herceptin. It hit me on the 3rd day and lasted a couple of days. I had the stomach stuff too, but it went away about the 5th or 6th day and I began to get better and better. I felt good the week before the next treatment, so I planned all my "have toos" during that time.
This won't last forever and just remember those darn ol' cancer cells are screaming their heads off!!! ma
