Hi @Igray3911, I had the same treatment followed by Taxol x 12. They give you steroids & medication to take for the next days to manage any nausea & also they recommend a sedative for 5 days after chemo for sleep because sometimes the steroids will keep you awake & also Nexium for heartburn if needed. You should get a take home pack. I had my chemo on a Friday & felt great until Monday night when I would start to experience some side affects such as heartburn & metallic taste and a sense of feeling of blur which lasted for a few days but I only had 2 days off work in 6 months. Everybody reacts differently so your chemotherapy nurse will advise you plus you will receive information sheets. Try & eat healthily & exercise does help alleviate symptoms even if you feel terrible. Some people sail through chemo & you may be one of them. I did chemo with 6 other ladies & they all had a relatively easy time except for the odd day or two.
