Chemo was unreal. The actual chemo drugs as far as I could tell didn’t cause any problems but the meds Benadryl & Dexamethazone that I was given to prevent nausea & vomiting sure had an effect on me. My head was swimming or I should say it felt like my brain was water swishing around in my head. I had the creepy crawlies all over & couldn’t sit still. I was allowed to walk until the chemo drugs were started then I had to stay near my chair in case I had a reaction to the chemo. This was the start of the first cycle & there are 3 treatments per cycle. Every Monday I will go to the Cancer Clinic for 2-5 hours depending on where I am in a cycle. I will have a total of 6 cycles…18 treatments. The first week I receive Carboplatin (Parapltin) & Paclitaxel (Taxol). On weeks 2 & 3 I just receive Taxol.
