@eddiek I hear you. My first bout was 2018 and I thought I was well prepared to face it again when I was diagnosed again this year.. I finished taxol in July and am still whacked. The side effects were certainly no easier and my body screamed at me to give it up after only one round. I persevered and made it through sheer determination. (I may be a bit stubborn which helped). I am now on a lifetime of targetted therapy and go into day ward for my infusion every three weeks. The day nurse informed me that I may always be tired due to the chemicals being pumped in. Not what I wanted to hear but all of my other side effects have either abated or eased. Rest up when you can and only do light duties when you have the energy. Leave the other stuff until treatment is over. I overdid it a couple times and paid the consequences. When I was finished I figured it was all worth it. Sending big hugs. XX
