What @sister said!
Many of us whinge and moan about the side effects of these drugs. It all seems like insult loaded on injury and how much can a koala bear? (Scuse me, my mum says that) Those most impacted have the most to complain about.
You won't know how you will cope until you try, and only you can determine what you are prepared to tolerate.
Chemo side effects do not just disappear after your last treatment. I've done this twice now, with an without AIs, and the recovery period can be much tougher than you expected. The message from that is not to confuse cause and effect and automatically blame fresh woes on a new drug.
Two years ago I was going to give them the flick and let nature take it's course, but have found it possible to continue. For now.
Give it a go. Tinker with brands and variations. These things are supposed to give us the best chance of survival. Mxx
