Yes, the book was very helpful. Tells you just about everything, right down to the different drugs and their side effects. I am on TAC. It has definitely reduced the tumour on the first treatment. I don't get much nausea but feel drained. On the last week when I was feeling my old self, hubby and I went for a walk. 4km along the river. I was totally drained by the end of it. I am at the moment on long service leave from work for a couple of months but don't feel I could return to work as I have to stand all the time and be chatty and upbeat (I'm a newborn baby photographer). How have other people coped with work?
