First 4 cycles of AC/DC done. One step at the time makes me feel like a Winner.
Hi All, Hope everyone is doing great here and managing the side effects well. I completed my 4 cycles of the AC/Dc combo package and will start with the 12 cycles of weekly taxol from mid September. ...
Hi @priya_09, congratulations on finishing your AC treatment 🥳 I found the paclitaxel easier than the AC, and went back to work 2 days a week. I work in an office and enjoyed being back at work doing something normal.
Like AC, side effects vary, if you read the post Struggling Through Chemo you'll see a bunch of us went through it recently, with some similar and some different side effects.
I had terrible mouth ulcers around dose 8 and I had one session delayed, and the last 4 doses reduced by 30%. I did all the recommended things, but unfortunately I still got ulcers. Medication and the break fixed the problem, but if you do start getting ulcers let your oncologist know.
All the best for your next phase of treatment, most people do find this one easier.
