@Coastiejas @Katie46 good to hear that there is a new normal forged after the chemo, that your bodies are healing up and you have rad plans in place. @Rona hope you are going ok with radiation and conquering the snorkel. I am down 2 Taxols now and just like you all and @GorgyS find the Taxol less full on than the AC. I was told Taxol has a cumulative effect to be felt around round 7 rather than the big upfront whack AC gives and then you recover. I am getting the taxol over longer time to minimise reactions. Love having the clear head and know my limits find day 4 the fatigue sets in and I sleep for a couple of hours - the cooler weather also helps to stay in bed. The nails changed day 1, end up with a rash on the face day 2 and the joint aches and pains set in week one but the Panadol oesto helps keep at bay, also taking magnesium, Vitamin D and shares in hydraltye 😂 - am determined to get through these weeks and keep moving on. @CeeCee hope you are also going ok moving through AC. Stay warm and keep your strength and spirits up warrior women!
