Hey there....I had 4 x AC 3 weekly followed by 12 weekly taxol of which I'm up to session 6. With AC I felt the impact within a few hours and threw up the evening of the session. I was totally out of action for 10 days in terms of feeling really tired, metal mouth, ulcers, watery eyes...generally very delicate. Then after day 10 I was great, like magic. Except for the ongoing taste, hair etc. my dose was reduced each time which eased the side effects.
Now on taxol it feels like nothing much is happening except for the original allergic reaction. Just experiencing a bit of tiredness at this point and suspect something may be going on with my fingernails. Much easier, but I actually do feel like I have chemo brain, can't string sentences together too well sometimes. No eyebrows or lashes.
Like you I researched what might happen to me, but you just have to go with it and see how you fair. I was terrified especially the first time. Then when I started I just went with it.
Good luck, I hope you have a nice Xmas and are not too affected, let your loved ones too look after you.
