Hi Mahaica,
I had 12 weeks of weekly Pactlitaxel, coped with this much better than dose dense A/C.You do get very tired and lethargic and the drug accumulates in your body so by week 9 you are feeling quite exhausted, you also have to be aware of neuropathy in your hands and feet. You are still susceptible to neutropenia, so you have to be careful not to be around people that are unwell, so a school environment may not be the best.
I didn’t work through any of my chemotherapy treatment.
I suppose all you can do is see how you go.
All the best
