I had a session today with my oncologist's nurse to teach me what to expect from my chemo. I will be given Zofran and dexamethasone followed by TCHP -- taxotere, carboplatin, Herceptin, and Perjeta. The nurse said the first infusion will take 5 hours, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's closer to 7 hours.
Based on my notes and the binder the nurse gave me, I have a long list of things to buy before chemo. Among the most important items are Imodium, stool softener, senna (laxative), Tylenol, a thermometer, and baking soda for rinsing my mouth.
