Chemo question ; AC-T. What’s the difference?
Hi lovelies, This Friday I am having my final (no 4) dose of AC. Overall it hasn’t been as bad as expected but dose 3 knocked me around a bit. Seems to be cumulative. Next up is 12 weeks of weekly...

Hi @Caz1
I am currently at the tail end of my Paclitaxel weekly infusions.
The side effects are less but it is a long haul, and accumulates so you will probably feel better initially but slow down as it drags on! I found bloody nose and aches and pains are my current concerns.
There is another post here where I detail my experience with cold therapy to stave off the common side effect of peripheral neuropathy. Fingers crossed I have minimal effects this far in.

Good luck with it.
