Sorry to hear all the problems you are having. Late last year I went through hell and back with chemo too. 4 x AC every 2 weeks then 12 x Taxiol every week. AC was postponed twice. The first time for 3 weeks. I got pneumonia. Second time for two weeks. I'm used to bowel probs. Suffered with IBS all my life. So no surprises with the constant runs. Already had a hiatus hernia so that played up worse then ever. Lost my spleen a few years ago which makes me susceptible to all sorts of bugs which I got. Fortunately I never felt like I wanted to vomit. Had to have a port put in as the vein in my arm clotted from my wrist to under my arm. Blood pressure went from being high to low. The fatigue was the worst. My oncologist said I was one of the hardest patients to get through chemo but I did get through it eventually. My toes are still a bit numb but otherwise all good now. My suggestion is to constantly keep on talking to your oncologist and GP. There are many medications to counter act the side effects. Persistence and patience got me through. Good luck. Claire.
