Hi Brenleigh, sounds like our treatment regime is quite similar. I've had 4 rounds of AC and am now having weekly Taxol - just had my 4 th. I have been feeling quite good ( much better than when having the AC), but have noticed that yesterday I started having the tingling in my fingers and toes! The fatigue is also getting worse - sometimes feels like my batteries are running out! Luckily I'm not working at the moment so can rest when I need to, which is quite often these days. Sometimes I feel a bit guilty when I haven't done much during the day, or hanging up the washing or collecting the chook eggs sends me back to the couch for a couple of hours, but hey that's how it is at the moment! I am joining a walking group next week, as I've read EVERYWHERE that exercise is really important, even though sometimes it's hard to get off the couch!!! So I think you must remember to be kind to yourself and rest when you need to. Robyn xxx
