Final round ac has sucked the life out of me
Rant only. I survived the first 2 round A C without much side effects but holy dooly the final two have really knocked me for a six! Lethargic AF and getting tingling numb feeling in my left hand fingers tips dry eyes and mouth thrush coming in at at angles. And as for eating nothing tastes good anymore ☹ and super super thirsty all the time. Getting frustrated at life in general plus have to start the paclitaxel soon which not looking forward after this episode. Cancer is crappy 🤯🤯🤯

- I struggled through the first two AC but breezedthrough the last two. Five days after the last one, WHAM. Fatigued and exhausted. This lasted for about five weeks. By then I was on taxol and didn’t know what was causing what. Turns out it was the AC build up. Ugh! It will get better but I understand the frustration.
- Taxol! Not stacks!
- However keep an eye on the finger tingling and let your oncologist know if it worsens. You may want to consider ice gloves/socks for Taxol, to minimise any risk of peripheral neuropathy. Best wishes.
- So Sorry to read this, @Karenp23 - I hope it passes soon & you start to feel better again.
Maybe drinking lots of water to flush it all out of your system quicker? I believe it helped with my husband getting over his chemo.
thinking of you - take care xxx . Gentle cyber hugs coming your way . - If it’s any comfort at all, most people find stacks easier than A/C.
