Sorry@eastmum -I had EC not AC! All these bloo***y letters and it was after first treatment -they lowered dose after hospital but I only lasted 2 more treatments as I got too sick....then to Paklitakel-more problems! Now on Xeloda -more problems but dose now lowered and doing much better. I say all this as it seems there are quite a few options -of course depends on each individual situations but my onc tells me there are many options. Hope you can rest well in hospital -all the best M
