Hi 3recharmer, My reactions were similar to Louisa. I think my best bit of advice is to listen to our body, note all the side affects from your first dose and talk to the oncologist about these side affects. I wasn't aware how the side affects to my feet and legs could leave permanent nerve damage. My oncologist gave me a reduced dose for my first as I had some strange affects from FEC. My second dose was reduced again and he wouldn't give me the last dose for fear of permanent damage. My last dose was in mid October and most of the leg problems have gone but still can't sleep with my heels too long resting on the bed as I get a burning sensation. I am hoping in time this will also go. As Louisa has said we all react differently and your journey will be your own. I wish you the very best on your continuing journey.My best thoughts are with you.
