I was alllergic to the Taxotere too but they took me off it. I had to wait and then got started on the old fashioned chemo..Of course my hair grew back just in time for me to lose it again!! seriously though....It is important to listen to your body and react accordingly. I found that when I overdid things I'd get emotional and the doubts crept in. Once I accepted that I needed to rest a lot, eat wierd and wonderful etc I found myself better able to cope. I was like you too...anxious at the end of the chemo but you won't be abandoned, your docs will still be keeping an eye on things but you'll be able to get back to normal again. I actually joined a craft group and learnt how to crochet and knoit afew things I'd never tried before. It was something I could do easily with my level of energy.try to make sure you get out in the fresh air at least for a bit every day. It helps too.
I'm nearly up to my 1 yr anniversary and I'm feeeling great.I have all my energy back and except for a few balance problems (I was big breasted so I'm now a bit lopsided LOL) I'm doing gret. You will too
