Sorry to hear you are having to deal with chemo. It is a nasty treatment, but I certainly hope you get better soon and are able to tolerate the treatment well. Good luck.

Good luck and I am praying for you. I was just diagnosed with breast cancer, having surgery soon, then chemo and radiation.  It's not an easy journey but you will get through it.

Each round of chemo can sometimes bring on new side effects but many times it all depends upon the type of chemo you are given and your body chemistry.  The nausea medicine will help but may not take away all of the nausea. Keep your Oncologist informed as to how the chemo affects you and if you are having side effects that are intolerable, don't be afraid to discuss this with your doctors. If you lose all of your hair try not to worry it will regrow. There are beautiful wigs that look so natural (these I wear all the time due to hair loss from chemo) I love them. I don't know if your Oncologist has discussed with you the medication Neulasta.  Neulasta (pegfilgrastim) is used to decrease the incidence of infection, by treating neutropenia, a lack of certain white blood cells caused by receiving cancer chemotherapy. It is a colony-stimulating factor. It is a man-made form of a protein that stimulates the growth of white blood cells. Check with your doctor to determine if this is an option for you. Last but not least I will pray for you as you go through this journey.  One of the most important things is keeping a positive attitude even when it seems that things are at there lowest point.  God bless and keep you.   :angel11:
