Forum Discussion
@Matt Just wanted to pop in and send you a very warm Welcome and can imagine how daunting it must feel coming to talk, but wanted to say as you can see by the overwhelming responses, we are all in it together and very happy to offer support in any way possible.
It's not just AC that is 4 times every 3 weeks, I had FEC fluorouracil (also called 5FU) epirubicin. cyclophosphamide, which was the same also known as the Red Devil, then 8 weeks of Taxol. It depends on what your diagnosis was as to which regime you are on. Side effects can be very nasty, sorry about your toenails, I ended up with neuropathy in my toes, I can live with it now but generally after walking over 40mins I can't do anymore due to the pain.
Sending a hug, we are always here if you have any concerns that we may be able to help out with. :) Melinda x
