Get the chemo gloves and booties. It helped my husband a lot.
He got hiccups from the steroids and only breathing into a paper bag helped.
Of course hair loss and tiredness about day 3.
The steroids also made him the Energizer bunny for about 48hrs!
Oh and they tapered the chemo. I think it was 25% speed for 30 min then half the speed then full speed.
