Hello everyone

The do have great med's these days to help with the side effects caused by chemo - especially the nausea, in a lot of cases they can reduce or eliminate the nausea to almost zero. I have only had 1 day where it was annoying after my first cycle and this cycle they gave me another med before my cycle (2nd cycle) and I had NO nausea at all. Sure my heair is almost gone (So what), and I get other annoying symptoms like the fatigue (which this time has been bad, but somethig I can live with). We all hear the horror stories of chemotherapy but in reality, it is not often like that these days (unless you are particularly sensitive to the meds, etc etc). I was scared of having chemo, becasue of the horror stories we all hear, but new it was in MY best interest so went ahead with it, and so far (touch wood) my side efects have all been things I can deal with (even when I got a chest infection a week after my 1st cycle), and next to no nausea at all.

Good Luck with making your decision (and yes it does seem like you mind is nearly made up).

And what a LOVELY husband for talking of taking you away afterwards, and missing out on his soccor training <LOL>, shows how me he loves for you and cares for you (and that he is willing to support you through the chemo).

Come back ANYTIME we are all here to help each other, and all going through this (or been through it etc - which is wonderful to have ladies at all the different stages, beginning, going through it and those out the other side), so that we can help each other with what our experiences have been and get help from others further down the track, or out the other side.
