Hi
Conventional wisdom is that Taxol is easier than A/C, but I certainly didn't find it so. When you feel you have been doing well, and you are keeping ahead of this thing, it's very hard to suddenly feel stricken. Allow yourself to have some positive time out, you are not failing , you are doing really well but this treatment is very tough and that's why you feel lousy! Count them down, 3 more and you are halfway there. If things get worse, talk to your oncologist about how much really constitutes a therapeutic dose. My oncologist wanted me to do all 12 treatments, but just knowing we could negotiate the last one or two really helped keep me going.
Best of luck
