Hi Kimee
i had 4 sessions of A/C, then 12 sessions of Taxol w 4 sessions of Carbo.
During chemo I had a blood transfusion and many neulasta injections (for white cells). I was OK until I started Taxol w Carbo - my platelets dropped to 50 and I had to miss 3 weeks of treatment. I suffered bad anxiety attacks so totally understand how you feel.
My oncologist assured me I was receiving enough treatment and my cells would recover. They picked up after 3 weeks and I resumed treatment as normal .
I've just had surgery and received the all clear. Missing the chemo was not a drama in the long term.
Main thing is to try not to stress (as this makes everything worse). I know it's really hard and scary. I found meditation, burning essential oils and long slow walks to be helpful.
feel free to ask any questions. Wishing you both all the best xo
