I think its very individual, theres no two people completely the same in any of this. I did 4 rounds FEC 3 weekly and 8 Taxol. Taxol was definitely easier to tolerateBUT saying that, had horrendous muscle, nerve and bone pain which I do still slightly 9 months on. I developed mild neuropathy in my toes about No. 6, definitely didnt stop it though. My fingers were absolutely fine, no problem. My toes only very slightly, so much I dont even notice. Again, everyones experience is different.
When first I was given my Chemo regime, my Oncologist said if I was against Chemo he'd suggest doing Taxol over FEC only in terms of tolerance...but for him its the combination specifically that they give you including the hormone pill after it all.
