Hi MLE59, You are most welcome. So you are having the same treatment that I completed yesterday, TCx4x21 days. The oncologists are really good at making sure that they prepare the treatments really well. Mine gave me a lot of premeds before the chemo started ie. anti nausea tablet and drip, fenergen, steroids and of course saline to make sure that to the best of their ability they avoid the side effects that can occur during chemo. Make sure that you use the ice gloves to preserve your nails and ask for an icypole and a cup of ice during the second lot of chemo each time which will help you avoid nail damage and mouth ulcers. Good Luck and best wishes for a positive outcome. Being prepared is important and it sounds like you're on the right track.
All the Best, JanetH
