Taxol - What to expect?

I hope the first one is behind you now and that you haven't found it to bad. My experience was that FEC was a breeze compared to Taxol and in fact my Onc said to me recently that everyone complained about FEC until Taxol. I think I experienced every common side effect he listed on the schedule he suggested. I've told him the only thing he got wrong was when my hair would come out - sooner than he expected. Taxol is taxing, listen to your body and take the time you need when you need it. If you're having a down day, let yourself have a down day, sleep/rest when your body tells you it needs it.
