advice on 1st chemo treatment needed!

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I had my modified radical mastectomy on 11/2/06 and I will be

starting chemo this Thursday 11/30. I will be doing bi-weekly dosed

densed treatments of a/c and taxol. I will also be taught by my onc

on how to inject myself with neuplasta after chemo. My treatment

will also be Herceptin for 1 yr. and tamoxifen for 5 yrs. Whew!! On

top of this, the pain from the surgery is at times unbearable. I am

seeing my surgeon tomorrow to see why the pain keeps getting worse

each day.

Now with that said, I need advice/information on what to expect on

my 1st chemo treatment with a/c on Thurs. Yes, I am nervous but I

know this is my next journey in beating my BC!
