Hi Anita,
I had 6 weeks of Paclitaxel after a horror dose of Docetaxel. That was 18 months ago and I have to tell you that, for me, it was a good deal easier than the previous 3 rounds of FEC and infinitely better than the Docetaxel which was a nightmare. In some ways, having it weekly is better - you just get on the treadmill and step one foot in front of the other. When it is 3 -weekly, you get some respite which sometimes makes the next treatment worse! Anyway, everyone is different and you may well just breeze through. Remember there is no right or wrong - just how it is for you and take your joy where you can. Cousins are wonderful - laugh and have a wonderful time this weekend because Monday will come around regardless and you cannot influence things by worrying! Take care and smile when you can!
