I hit the wall about week 8 on Taxol @Josephine66 and I didn't have AC so I think you're doing magnificently!! I went on to have 3 weekly Herceptin, lost my job and am still so fatigued . You're not lazy, you're having gunk pumped through your body to help make you well again, but it's messing with all the other stuff :( Try to keep going if you can , you're more than halfway through, so start counting down and the weeks will really fly by. Try to rest up but also try little bouts of walking if you can,especially on the day of chemo as the steroids give you some ooomph! Good luck with it all and remember 'this too will pass' xox
