Hi Sue Sue
I totally understand where you are coming from. I also had a lumpectomy and am currently undergoing chemo which will also be followed by radiation. I had 4 rounds of AC and now on Taxol which is similar to the Docetaxal in that it is one of the taxane chemos effective against breast cancer. You will get through this. Ask your Oncologist lots of questions until you are sure you are clear about your treatment regime. I am now up to treatment number 4 of 12 taxol and I am managing O.K. I am flying to Sydney on Monday night after my 4th treatment to watch my daughter swim at National Age Championship's. I never thought I would have done that! My point is you will be O.K. It is really scary at first and then once you have your treatment plan underway it gets better. Let us know how you go and please don't hesitate to ask any questions- I am happy to help.
