Well you are half way through. Not long to go and then we will be sending you 'Yippee' finished posts. I had four three weekly AC and was so scared about the change over to Docetaxel as it was again that unknown factor. You are most likely taking Dexamethasone steroids for a day or two now and they make you feel really up. I thought, "gee this is a piece of cake compared to AC". Well I was wrong, after the steroids stopped, I went down hill again and didn't do well at all. But on the up side, I went to lunch with my new BCNA Melbourne group yesterday and we all talked about Docetaxel and we all have different experiences with it. One of us didn't have any significant side effects at all! Another lady didn't think it was must different than AC and me, I had a fairly bad time. I'll say what's been said so many times before "we are all different". So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you will breeze through without a worry.
Remember the anticipation is sometimes much worse than the participation.
Sending you hugs and wishing you well Hazel.
