Is 4 treatments of TCH good enough

by Mary6204 on 5/13/2008 at 8:53 amin category Treatment
I am going through taxotere, carboplatin and herceptin to keep cancer from coming back. It was stage 1, but invasive. It's all gone and as much as I want to keep it away, I can't take the treatments. I am so sick and it gets worse with each treatment. I have had 3 so far. I have the nausea and dizziness from day 4 through day 9 and today I have to go in for an IV. I can hardly get out of bed. I've tried compazine, zofran, Emend and Tigan and nothing helps.

I have heard that 4 treatments of this regime is enough. Does anyone have any knowledge about this. When I go in for my IV I am talking to the doctors about going through just one more. I'm trying to be strong, but it's a losing battle.

I hope no one else has this problem; I really think mine is quite unusual. Good luck ladies, Mary
