First 4 cycles of AC/DC done. One step at the time makes me feel like a Winner.

@priya_09 congratulations on getting through the AC and that you keep moving forward.  I finished the Taxol two weeks ago was determined and made all 12 sessions in full.  I am not back at work though and won’t until 2025.  Keep up good food, rest and vitamins/medications.  As Katie mentioned Taxol is kinder on the body.  You already know what to with side effects should they pop up.  My taxol was delivered over two hours to reduce any reactions, only had tingly feet once or twice during the infusion.  I also had/have a chemo rash on arms and face.   Be alert for the peripheral neuropathy in hands and feet I found it happened mainly towards the end (round 6/7).  Good luck and keep us posted on how you go. 😊 

Dear @priya_09,
I undertook chemo seven years ago and lost my hair. I've had short hair ever since - a number 6 buzz cut!

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.

Well done @priya_09 .... wishing you all the best for your ongoing treatment xx

take care
