Hi All first time posting on here so hope what I am asking is OK. I also had 4 rounds 3 weeks apart of AC and it was pretty much hell. I ended up in hospital twice first time with an infection and second time as the blood test said my kidneys were not functioning properly. In between all that I got shingles and a urinary tract infection. It was all an awful experience. I am now to have 12 doses of Paclitaxel once per week. I had the first dose last week and so far apart from being tired I am finding it a lot better than the AC. I have a couple of questions - first does anyone know if it is OK to have sex whilst on the Paclitaxel? Also does anyone else feel like this is a never ending thing? I just want it to be done with and not have to go for any treatments ever again but the more I read the more I feel like this has completely taken over my life. By the way I am having neoadjuvant chemo so have not had any surgery or radiation treatment as yet.
