First Infusion - what to expect?

Hi @Annalyn That first chemo is a shock to the system. On day four and five I thought I had the flu and ached all over. This is not common. I had the full gamut of side effects but by day six they were subsiding and by day eight I was ready to be human again. Rest when you can as your body needs that time to recuperate from the onslaught. Try to focus on something else if you can. By the end of the AC you will be tired but feel like you have accomplished. Believe it or not, this time goes fairly quick. I had no trouble with taxol until right at the end when I was really tired for weeks. The Dr can prescribe drugs for most of the side effects so do not be hesitant to ask. Sending big hugs
