TAC chemo
hi all, I've just had a mastectomy and axillary clearance. 4 out of 16 nodes cancerous. My cancer is grade 2 and oestrogen positive. I'm starting the TAC regime of chemo. Anyone else had this and...
Hello.yes I had the same.Try not to worry too much,because I put so much energy into worrying,and for me,chemo was nowhere near as bad as I had feared.These days,there are medications to help with all the side effects.I am not trying to trivialise it,because I know that some ladies find it very difficult,through no fault of their own.The side effects for me were fatigue( day 5 to 10) ,rashes,changes in taste,total hair loss( but. It's back thicker than ever ) and that's about it.Stay in touch on here,because you will get all the support that you need,to get you through.Cheers Robyn xox.P.S. Walk,walk,walk, throughout your chemo.It REALLY does help with the fatigue.
