Hi Niki. Make sure that your onc knows all about your reactions - he/she should be able to prescribe better medication to get you through (did you have similar reactions to the first 2?). Taxol is not as vicious. I've just finished the 4AC/12T combination. The thing I would say about taxol is that it is cumulative and you don't get the 2 weeks off to recover so by the end, it's enough. Actually, the other thing I would say about it is that on different weeks, different symptoms would be preeminent - so one week, nausea and fatigue got me down, and the next week it would be the aches. But I never got the full-on whammy of the first week of AC.
