Hey Peter, aren't the nurses great. I was pretty naïve and never asked much, info overload about that time. But as I never suffered from nausea through 4 AC & 4 Docetaxel, one less drug might of been worthwhile. I suppose they have a one size fits all, unless you need more help.

Then I had docetaxel, took reduced dose before 1st dose. Oh boy, oh boy, took all of those suckers 2nd dose - didn't help much. I suppose its one size fits all, unless you question or need more help. If I had to do it again (gripping my wood chair here!) I would question the whys and wherefores. Hope life is treating you well.
