I find it necessary to be a determined self advocate. I let my oncologist know if I had to continue the initial chemo I would rather not be treated and just die. He was very understanding and we did work out a change. I got another 10 rounds of chemo and managed very well.

He tested my blood to see if I’m overly sensitive to the drugs. He is ruling out reasons why I was so sick after the first round. He said if I am as sick this time they can lower the dose. They are trying Emend prior to my infusion today.
