I'm on day 10 of my first cycle of AC chemo. All the side effects have been pretty manageable so far. Had a really blah day on day four when the sore throat kicked in. That has eased now and have had heartburn the last three days. I am 62 and work full time but managed to go to work all of last week and walk my 10000 steps with a friend twice last week. I have three more AC to go and then 12 weekly taxol before surgery. My appetite has been really good but craving hot potato chips of all things! I have lost a kilo in a week! I'm having the day ten blood test today to check the immune system. I am still not quite believing this has happened to me as I feel a lump the size of a small lemon in my breast that grew in a matter of weeks! (The Ki67 index is at 85%).
