Hi Lillisee,
AC is disgusting... how are you going? I have just had my fourth AC treatment and for the last 2 treatments I have been so emotional. My husband can't handle me anymore & is staying right away from me, can't say I blame him. I am normally wiped out for at least a week afterwards - severe nausea, can't eat, fatigue, etc. Unfortunately I got all the great nausea drugs but they made me really constipated which made the nausea worse. Coloxyl and senna didn't help, just gave me really bad stomach aches. Then I took Movicol which gave me diarrhoea, and then I didn't want to eat anything because I couldn't stop pooing!
The good news is that I am moving on to taxol now, sometimes called paclitaxel (spello!). However I am really freaking out about that too. It is once a week for 3 months and gee I hope I deal with it a bit better.
