this is an ongoing phase III multi-center study in the US and some other countries sponsored by a big drug company and I am just wondering if some members of this boards are presently enrolled and how they are doing.  My MO has suggested this study for me but i am trying to read and educate myself more by reading and getting feedbacks from people that are actually enrolled in this study. Thank you all for taking time to respond..

    good day everyone!.. i had my first chemo AC last thursday. i belong to Arm 1 of the study which  means i will be on AC, Taxotere, Herceptin and Perjeta. The AC "kicked" me hard that i was brought to ER next day post chemo. for IV hydaration and IV anti-nausea meds.  My serum sodium went down. I was throwing -up bad and my oral ant-emetics were not working. I tried taking ginger ale and  ginger tea  but may have crossed the threshold that no extra meds helped. Right now i have a bitter taste in my mouth and foods tastes bland except when its salty. Sweet tea seems to help. Not looking forward for the next cycle but maybe it will be better the next time... good luck to all of us!
