finished AC, just starting taxol
I have just had my first dose of Taxol and am nervous how it will go. I have 11 doses to get through and would appreciate a little encouragement of how to manage this best. I am nearly two hours away from my treatment hospital so sometimes feel a bit isolated.
I look forward to any thoughts,
thanks Chrisbeachside

Hi Anne
Thanks for your encouragement. My dianosis is inflamatory breast cancer and I have a journey ahead of taxol, right breast removal and some lymph glands, radiation for 6 weeks and hormonal therapy. Some days are emotional and some parts of the days are better, so Im really trying to concentrate of what makes a better time to focus on, but I sometimes fail to remain positive. When I feel low I call a friend who does just lets me talk and I get them to talk to me about their normal life so I feel a part of everyday stuff. It does help to lift my mood.
I wish you good feelings of wellness and not so much nausea throughout your treatment too. Chris
- I finished AC before Christmas and have had 2 taxol/carboplatin treatments so far, with 10 more to go. the taxol/carboplatin is easier to handle than the AC. I don't feel as sick. hope all goes well for you, Anne
