Taxol want to stop

hi ladies I've been doing this bc thing since June and I think I must be not as strong as I thought.  With chemo I've done 4 Acs over 3 months and 3 of 12 taxols  but I'm now struggling I'm finding the pain from taxol is really debilitating me I'm in bed 3 days of each week and after being a very independent active person it's getting to me I really want to tell them to shove chemo anyone else felt like this? I think I'm finally mourning my old life which I want back! I've still got 3 months of radio after this I know I sound like a whinger but seriously starting to wonder how to do it I'm no longer working not well enough to go out having to fill in so many forms just to stop the mortgage for 4 odd weeks Getting really stressed about appointment s between onco radio gp surgeon some days I just can't get off the bed okay whine over did someone say wine? Remember that xxx

    Hi go and have a wine it might help. It is a long struggle to get through chemo but it will come to a end. Reading this brings back how I felt going through my chemo, I felt like crap. I worked off and on during chemo and I look back now and don't know how I did it. Somewhere deep down there is a inner strength in us all to keep moving forward and not let bc beat us. Dig deep and you will find your inner warrior. Hang in there sending you a hugxx
