Good morning @Tarma!
I’m on AC for 4 cycles every 14 days, then I will be on 12 weekly Taxol.AC is causing my hair to fall off but it’s happening sooner than expected. I have the same steroid as you which I’m supposed to take on chemo day 1(via infusion) and on day 2 and 3 (tablet). I also have to get a jab after 24 hours from chemo (ziextenzo), this is to produce white blood cells. I’ll be doing my first blood test before my 2nd chemo (2nd Oct), can’t wait to see what the results will say!

I won’t need to take the steroids this morning but I’ve been prescribed with Maxolon, which I can take if I feel nauseous. Hopefully I won’t need it🤮.hot flushes again this morning 🤣!woke up at 4am! The fatigue is real as well.
I’m drinking at least 2l of water everyday, haven’t been able to do much walking as I would have like to.
Sounds like we are on difficult chemo drugs but the side effects are similar? How long do you need to be doing chemo? My chemo treatment plan is 5 months (AC for 2 months and taxol for 3 months).
I have been given a diary to record my side effects, was told the side effects generally stays the same after each cycle but interesting you mentioned the effects is cumulative- will ask my medical team if it’s applicable for the drugs I’m on. Similar to you, I haven’t had all the side effects listed, only the ones I have mentioned… fingers crossed…
