Hello fello Perth girl
So lovely to hear from you. I can't believe how Onco's can be soooooo different. One will tell you nothing and then the other had no heart and no tact and scares the daylights out of you. I was unable to work through my chemo treatment mainly because I worked on a roster and I couldn't commit that I would or wouldn't be well to do my shifts and didn't want to let people down etc. I definitely had times where I could have worked and other times where I could work. I had 3 FEC and then 3 Taxotere or Taxol I think they also call it. The chemo effects do accumulate the further you get in to treatment. Some people fly through all the chemo with minor side effects but others aren't so lucky so it is very hard to guage how you will do and I am saddened by your Oncs response to you.
