Paclitaxol / Bisphophonate + emetophobia

Hello,

Who with breast cancer has experience of these 2 being administered together? I have a vomit phobia and want to know whether to expect a difficult time or if the nausea is mostly controllable with the anti-nausea meds.... I'm having them together every 3 weeks. My regime is: week 1 - Paxo + Herceptin    Week 2 - paxo + bispho    Week 3: paxo alone    Repeat

forewarned is forearmed!

Thankyou x

  • Hello Hibbs

    I'm not sure if we've any members who have had the same treatment regime. Hopefully someone will see your post and reply if they have personal experience with these drugs. 

    You could also use the forum search function to look for the term "paclitaxol" as you may find some other members threads helpful or connect with them there. 

    In terms of managing the nausea, so make sure that you talk to the chemo team about your concerns and should you find that you're struggling let them know straight away. Hopefully they will be able to help you keep on top of things. It may also be worth you having a read through this information on our website about treatment for sickness

    I hope that your treatment goes smoothly. 

    Best wishes,
