Chemo 1st one down what a ride
Hi all, I had my first chemo and wow the side effects, the headaches, back pain constipation, mouth ulcers and on it goes . Ended up in hospital for 8 days, and what an awful 8 days, just home yesterd...
It’s bizarre how chemo affects people. You’ve had a horrible time and I am glad you are finding Taxol easier. I had the opposite, apart from losing my hair (fairly inevitable with both and cold cap wasn’t offered then) I had virtually no other side effects on A/C. One later, after I had finished A/C, but how much it was caused by A/C is still questionable. Taxol on the other hand was a pain - taste buds gone, bloody nose, peripheral neuropathy, and so on. No telling really. Best wishes.
