Great that you managed to stay well and keep working through your Chemo Pamela. You must be so happy to have had your last dose. I have been told radiation is a breeze compared to Chemo.
Except for nausea I managed fairly well through FEC. I am fairly fit and managed to continue walking between 3 and 5 km nearly everyday and continued normal activities in my 2 good weeks each cycle. Docetaxel has been much harder and I ended up with neutropenia (hospital for 3 days) after first dose and am feeling awful again 8 days after second dose. No way could I work and I have only managed my 3 km walk 5 times during first cycle and 0 times this cycle, so far! Will be very relieved to have the last dose over in 2 weeks time!
How are you managing this time Belinda? Hope you are keeping well. Take care.
Good luck with radiation Pamela, I am sure you are over the worst now.
