Here Goes

It's hard to predict @taboogal - everyone reacts a bit differently.  I've suffered from nausea, indigestion and reflux, and sever fatigue throughout chemo, both on AC and taxol.  AC has become a bit of a distant memory but as long as I kept the drugs up, I wasn't too bad (the first one when I didn't have strong meds for the early days was a living nightmare).  I ended up with Ativan for nausea (and Somac for the indigestion and reflux (which has now been changed to Nexium).  The Ativan is an anti-anxiety drug but also works for nausea and to be perfectly honest, the anti-anxiety bit has not been a problem!  The drawback is that you can't take it if you have to drive or anything like that.  I found that with AC, Day 1 wasn't too bad but the downward descent would happen during Day 2.  Days 3 & 4 were best spent sleeping and I would probably lose most of the day.  By Day 5, I was usually able to manage short walks and Day 7, I was pretty much as good as I would get - most of my energy in the morning but crashing and burning during the day - and terrible if I overdid it.  I was managing 5km walks each morning in my good weeks, up until the last AC when shortness of breath became a factor.
