@Sevenbe Aaaaaah!!! I had 4 rounds of FEC, certainly underestimated by the professionals I think. I too was incredibly ill and drug sensitive, so couldnt take alot. I too thought aaaah weekly taxol by 8 will be soooo much easier. WRONG!!! it had a whole other symptoms happening.

Im 11 months on now but still have severe side effects, fatigue, extreme pain in my joints can hardly walk, unfortunately is exacerbated by Arimidex which causes the same symptoms. Oh boy!!! such a treat!!! I even took Endone for pain, it did nothing. Allergic to everything, so still live on Panadol-osteo to combat the pain on a bad day will had nurofen to it. Hugs Melinda xo
