Hi @Elfie thanks for the tips had my first dose at 11.30am this morning (Perth time), and feel ok so fingers crossed....
Hi @Louise J I was really lucky with my E/C mostly got the bad Fatigue but it never hit me until the afternoon of the third day after chemo, also suffered very mild nausea the night of the chemo, of course hair lose, which is still falling out in different parts of my body, but OMFG constipation that was the biggest problem of all, I have literally lived on Coloxil with Senna....anyway this was the side effects that i had for the first 3 rounds anyway....after my last one I never got nausea, the fatigue lasted 2 days not for 3 or 4 day, I only took my Coloxil for 2 weeks this last week ive been fine like as if i never had chemo...which was a blessing in its self... So today was the first Taxol, so far so good, only thing i am finding is that I actually dont feel hungry but my stomach is telling me different if that makes sense.... Might must make some toast or something....but as the weeks go on, I will keep in touch, I do home you do the same..... And all the best for your upcoming treatment also....
Cheers
