My 12 weeks of Taxol chemo experience
Well my 12 weekly Taxol treatments have come to an end – yay!!! All finished this week.
I must say the experience has not been as daunting as I anticipated and I have coped quite well over this per...

Thank you for sharing your experience Angie.
I have only recently been diagnosed and am yet to have the surgery (scheduled for this Thursday) so no idea what I am dealing with and am finding a prospect of being told "you need chemo" (if that is what I am told afterwards) very daunting.
Like yourself I made a decision not to tell many people about my diagnosis and plan to keep it that way if at all possible so reading your post has reassured me that even if they do say "chemo it is" there is a chance of getting through it without major complications and major hair loss.
I am just starting out on this 'living with breast cancer' path and I must say that while I have been approaching the whole thing with a "yeah, whatever - just another illness and no biggie..." attitude. Well I made the handfull of people who do know about me think that is how I felt and I kept up the appearance but on the inside I have kind of been 'holding my breath' and reading your post helped me 'exhale' aa it gave me a feeling that maybe having to go through Chemo (in my head the most dreaded scenario) does not have to be an absolute disaster. So, thank you :)
