Hello Lozzer. I'm afraid I can't help you with the steroid question as I have only ever had the 3 or 4 days of pills when I had IV chemo in 2011. Perhaps someone else will be along shortly who can help (or perhaps ring the freephone number at the top of the page - which, sorry to say, I have only just noticed after being on the Forum for at least 3 years!). Re question 2: I have tried to take the pills at 12 hours apart, or as close as possible. I work on the theory that that was what presumably worked best when they did the original trials, and, as they say, if it aint broke, don't fix it. Obviously it isn't possible at all times, but I do try to stick to that. I take mine at (give or take 15 minutes or so) 6am and 6pm. I am lucky that now I have retired, I can go back to bed after the 6am ones! As for your third question, re anti-sickness pills, I have never taken them while on Cape, and have never felt the need. I wasn't told to take them "just in case", and probably wouldn't have done anyway. I take too many pills as it is - I don't want to take any extra if I don't have to. Well done on starting your first cycle, and I hope all goes well for you. Hugs to all. Barton.x
