I finished this protocol on October 15th. The side effects were much worse than I expected, but the after treatment has been much worse. I would suggest being as proactive as possible- take the Zofran during chemo and start the anti-diarrheal as soon as you get diarrhea if you do. Be watchful for the fever and just try to get as much rest as you can. Start early and often with the skincare in your pelvic region. Good luck and god bless.
