In the days following my 1st infusion I had nausea and terrible headaches. They administered the drug that caused my headaches over a hour period instead of 30 minutes, that really helped my headaches. I drank apple juice and ate cheese or peanut butter crackers during the infusions…no mouth sores yet. I ate cabbage, chinese chicken & broccoli and cantaloupe & watermelons most of the time, and drank tea, juices & tons of water. All these eased my nausea and I usually only took the meds for 2 days after the infusion…maybe I was just lucky in this way. No constipation or diarrhea issues. Now I’m getting ready to start Taxotere every 3 weeks for 4 doses…I hope God smiles on me thru this part also.

Ice chewing during infusions of AC…not one mouth sore.

Acupuncture saved my life when my appetite was failing. One treatment, and it started to come back.
