Hi Cate yes it's very frustrating when the doctors/ nurses do not listen to you after all it's our lives. I completed 4 ACs 2 of which I injected same drug you are referring to the day after I didn't like the bone pain I got and was relieved when I didn't have to do that as well. I got through 9 out of 12 taxol chemo after that and lost feeling in my feet at that point I made them listen as I didn't want permanent nerve damage as well as all the other things I was told that they had given me enough I'm currently waiting to start radio. I lost hair after 2nd AC hair started growing after 4th taxol but I lost my eyebrows eyelashes in the taxol time this week almost 3 weeks after last chemo lost a couple of toe nails but starting to feel a bit more like myself all the best my advice is to vent and also to question them I found some of my hospitals policies made us go through more pain then necessary I'm still all hunched with left breast expander just found that won't be replaced with saline boob for 6 months or so I tried to fight for film to cover breast for radio not policy at my hospital bla bla bla was told I could travel everyday for radio 130 odd km round trip urg I find when I can walking or re teaching myself to swim really help
