Hello Rona, I've done 3 of 4 AC then on to 12 rounds of paclitaxel, then radiation. I'm lucky too to have a good support group around me, and my side effects have been relatively mild, but the fatigue floors me the first week after treatment. I flop about for about a week, before getting a 'good' week where I feel almost normal, catch up with a few people for hot chocolate (coffee now tastes musty) venture into the supermarket, just to get out of the house. Then into the next round. I'm hoping I might have a bit more energy with the paclitaxel, and maybe work from home a few days a week. Some days it feel like a very long road, but I keep telling myself it's for all for the greater good, and look forward to the beginning of June when the chemo side of things should be done. Katie
