1/2 Way there-4 down-4 to go. Just finished my 4th round of A/C today. In 3 weeks I;ll start Taxol. Taking 3 different meds for nausea, sure hope they do the trick this time. I'm extremely tired which is unusual on same day as chemo. I think the meds Emend, Kytrill ,and Compazine are doing a job on me but its ok, I'd much prefer sleeping or resting over having nausea.

    Hey Natly, good for you w/1/2 done
    I was also tired on my chemo days and 2 days after. Started on my 2nd set. I am off chemo infusions now, and am becoming less tired, other than work tired!
    The nausea meds also increase the tiredness, and mine worked well, hoping yours do too! Hang in there!
    Peace

    Wow! 1/2 way through! Can you see the finish line from there? It's just right around the corner! So sorry about the nausea. Hope the new combo works. I'm with you on the tired, I'm tired of being tired! I know our bodies need it though after all we are going through. Rest as you need to.
    Take Care

    Natly, look at you. Halfway there and you're still posting and going strong even when you don't feel that way. Dear friend, give yourself the time you deserve to rest and build yourself up, keep taking deep breaths and soon it'll be over. Then we celebrate. Sending lots of warm hugs your way.

    Hi natly
    It's terrible you're having a bad time with nausea. I hope it passes soon. I don't get the nausea, just cramping off and on. I must have a cast iron stomach. They give me Emend to take. And I also take an over the counter acid reducer the day before and the few days after. That wonderful shot is tomorrow. But it does the job, so I shouldn't complain about it. Take care and rest.

    YAY!
    That's great, Natly!. I'm halfway done too. My 4th is on Christmas Eve morning, but it shouldn't be bad becaus I don't feel too bad until after my shot, which will be on the 26th. Hope you get control of the nausea, but it sounds like you have. REST! It does the body good. We're pluggin along... whoo hoo!

    Hugs ~ Mar

    Great to be half way.
    Glad you are half way. I am right behind you. Hope that the nausea goes away. But the rest is the best. I can say that but I know resting wears on you too. It is a difficult process learning to do things we don't normally do. But I know you are staying strong and positive. Keep up the good fight! I am sending all my best wishes, thoughts and prayers

    I get my shot today at 2,
    I get my shot today at 2, and then it will be beddy bye tomorrow for at least 48 hours of back pain and total exhaustion with I hope not much nausea. Thanks to all you wonderful gals for your encouragement. i was getting that halfway itch yesterday, would have cancelled it but could find no good reason to do so ;(. I guess I'll call it the halfway "itch", like the 7 year itch. I'm doing it, but as you all know some days are better than others. Hugs to all you beautiful people.

    I can't believe it's already
    I can't believe it's already the half-way mark. It seems like time is flying by. I'll be wishing for the second half to be quick for you. Sorry you get to feeling bad. Rest and be sure to drink plenty of liquids. Sweet dreams, Natly!!!
