3rd Chemo down
3rd chemo down today, 1 more IV AC to go. The I'll either have CMF oral which he said the way I've reacted with the nausea on the AC I'll probably be the same on the CMF. Or I could possible have Taxo...
Hi Vanessa, I wasn't given any options like you have, just Taxol. I'm up to no. 8 of Taxol. I have not had any nausea, just body aches, sore hands, slight numbness in feet, sore nose, rash on hands. Overall not as intense side effects as the AC. There has been a slow steady accumulation of the side effects over the 8 weeks, but I am on the plus side 2/3 of the way through Taxol.
So in summary much better than AC, negative is it is weekly rather than every three weeks. Fatigue is definitely still a factor but I think that's just as much BC as it is chemo.
Just think you're almost there, one more to go of AC. (I bought myself a nice pair of earrings after 2nd chemo and a matching necklace after the 4th AC to celebrate making it through). Cheers Cheryle :)
