Hello:) I finished my chemo 18 months ago.I have NEVER felt better than I do now!! I am 60 years old,and had chemo because there is no way that I would want to look back in a few months and say," I knew I should have had it".It would probably be too late then!Some chemo is harder than others I believe,and some ladies have more rounds than others.I had 4 rounds of docetaxel,and believe it or not,it was really not bad.At least,it was nowhere near as terrible as I thought it would be.I walked every day,yes I got tired( so I rested more than usual) yes my hair fell out( and I grew to love it because it was so simple being bald!!) yes I had food cravings( so I ate what I felt like) yes I had skin rashes( so I took Zyrtec) and yes I had some constipation( and I took the medication I was given).It is a personal choice,if you are given an option whether to have chemo or not,but for me,life is far too precious to take a chance.All the best with your decision.Cheers Robyn.xox
