About to be hospitalized again...AC is awful.

So here I am in emergency about to be readmitted for the second time. Was admitted after AC Round 3 and now after AC Round 4. 

I start Taxol next Monday. Will the neausea and diarhhea end? I don't know how I'm going to get through 12? 

I'm cracking....

    Chemo is tough enough without ending up in the slammer because the cure can feel worse than the disease. 
    The hope is that it's worth all the drama, and you are slowly getting towards the end of what can be a very challenging experience. Hang in there. MXX

    As some of the older members of this group will remember, I had an awful time on AC chemo. I spent a total of 56 days (and nights of course) over the 4 cycles. My shortest stay was 8 days and the longest was 17. The good news was that I had no hospital visits on paclitaxel. Hang in there...if this ascerbic old chook could do it, you can too. Big hug...

    AC is dreadful and I feel for you. I found taxol a breeze after the AC - I felt like I had my life back. Fingers crossed you find it easier too.
