Cycle 1 done

Hi Cath, I was already on pariet when I started TCH for gastric reflux due to another condition that I have had prior to bc. I found pramin did very little for me to help in the way of nausea. I was so sick that I couldn't keep them down. They gave me ondansetron wafers and these made all the difference. Although still nauseous, at least I was no longer continuously vomitting. As far as Facebook goes, I was having a lot of difficulty dealing with peoples reactions to my diagnosis. I ended up announcing it on Anzac Day last year on facebook. For me it meant that people were able to deal with the shock before they saw me. I didn't regret it at all. I do regular "booby updates" to let everyone know where I'm at so I don't have to repeat myself continuously. This was particularly helpful when I was so sick with chemo. I'm getting towards the end of my treatment now (only 5 months of herceptin to go) it also meant that if I needed help with something ie a lift to the hospital, I could put a post up asking if anyone was available to help out. Everyone was very supportive. Good luck with it all. Karen xox
