I had 6 rounds of TCH and finished 8 weeks ago. I found the first round was pretty easy, but it got harder with each round. I used to get it on a Friday. The first round I was back to work on the Monday. By the last round, it was Thursday before I could make it to work. I do have a fairly physically taxing job though.

I found it helped with fatigue & certainly got me back to feeling normal between rounds.
I also had to have Neulasta after the second round, due to febrile neutropenia & a four day hospital stay after the first. However, I never did suffer from bone pain. Lucky I guess. Hey, you've got to celebrate the small bonuses that come your way during this time!
Good luck Liana!
