Hay Mel Its normal to feel anxious about your next chemo. This entire journey isn't exactly a barrel of laughs. I found taxol to be quite debilitating for me. But everyone is different. My experience was horrible bone pain to the point of being imobalised. Morphine (endone) didn't do anything (other than make me a drooling zombi in excrusiating pain) It makes me so mad when oncologists try and sugar coat things. I personally hate surprises and was lucky to have a straight forward oncologist who prewarned me, although it was still hell for me. BUT again everyone reacts different. I applaud women that can work through chemo! Not all of us can. I hope your experience will be just as your oncologist describes. Wishing you lots and lots of healing vibes. Eat well, rest well and most importantly take good care of yourself :)
