Hi Trudi
I had 3 fec & 3 tac treatments, I must admit its wasnt the greatest 5 months of my life but definately doable. The main thing I had from TAC was bone pain. All over my body and scull. It got quite severe to the point of screaming in agony but morphine came to the rescue (I think i only used it a couple times cause it completely zonked me out). It was bad enough having cloudy brain from the chemo, let alone being a drooling mess from the meds. I also had reactions to the anti nausia medications where I was hospitalised a few times. Its normal to feel like a guinee pig at times, but the reality is everyone reacts differently. I also retained a lot of fluids but that all goes away after a few weeks when you finish your treatment. The fatigue can also be debilitating but that improves in time. Just remember its temporary, the treatment will end and there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Take care of yourself, eat and drink well
