Genomic Testing?

All really good advice. It's also possible that, like me, you won't be nauseous at all (and take no anti nausea drugs) or have fatigue. It's the worst kind of lucky dip - no rhyme or reason for what you get or don't get, most of the time. The only real side effect I had from A/C was compounded by other (non cancer related) factors. I loathed Taxol for its sheer annoyingness, most people find it easier than A/C and most of the side effects disappeared pretty quickly once the treatment stopped. Most of us end up with chemo because that way we have done as much as we possibly can to get shot of cancer. It's still a pretty compelling argument. Many side effects can be alleviated to an extent, so as @Sister says, don't suffer in silence or wait in case they magically get better by themselves. Everyone has different ways of coping with treatment, and it's hard to know what suits you best till you start. But then do it - whatever anyone says! Working was good for me, as I was perfectly able to do so and it kept my mind occupied on something other than bc and treatment. Taking time out is necessary for others and better for them, let others step up and don't feel guilty! Unless someone has actually been through it themselves and knows what they are talking about, thank friends/family/etc for their kind but unhelpful suggestions and stick to your guns about what works for you. Breast cancer is an extreme way of focussing on you and what matters to you, and you wouldn't do it by choice, but when stuck with it, get as much out of it as you can. Best wishes.
