Now I know what my potion is

I had the same as you Leonie.I'm not going to sugar coat it -it was bloody awful! My doc. told me it's harder on your blood cells and hair follicles than other chemo combos.But he told me that after I started it.I had the worst headache and fatigue,along with all the other side effects.I ended up in hospital /isolation with an infection and no white cells. On the upside it hopefully killed off any stray cancer cells if it was that potent.Let's face it ,they are all horrible.If you go with FEC then you have the vein distruction and heart risks.I had no lymph node invovlement or cancer anywhere else so I had the luxury of telling my doc.I didn't want to finish it.He was quite ok with that so long as I started Tamoxifen.I think they make it up as they go along!! Well lots of girls on this site have coped  better than I did and I hope that will be the case for you.
