(Hopefully) At the end of my journey
Hi everyone. I have been reading all your posts (thank you) and never wrote anything myself until now. I was diagnosed with a pretty small but aggressive tumour last June, and pretty quickly moved to ...
@mahaica In some ways taxol is easier than AC but it does come with it's own challenges. In my experience, it doesn't have the same debilitating effects that AC can have but bear in mind that your body has already taken a hit so you're going into it tireder. Taxol is generaly every week so you don't get the chance to recover as well so I found the fatigue cumulative. You're probably already aware of the potential for peripheral neuropathy but your medical team should keep an eye on that if it develops. I also found that this was when the tastebuds went on holiday. Remember that while 12 is generally the optimum number, that is what they aim for, not what is known so, potentially, 9 treatments might be just as effective. If you got through AC, you're on the downhill now. I think it was @kezmusc who said you count up with AC but down with Taxol and she was quite right.
