Hi Beckyw, I have completed 4 AC & coming up to my 7th Taxol out of 12. I have worked 3 days a week all the way through with only 2 days off during the AC. Taxol is much easier so far. The main issues have been a bit of bone pain/muscle ache but I haven't had to take anything for it & this week has been very mild. A bit of reflux for a day & metallic taste. I exercise 4 times a week & have acupuncture weekly, Some of the ladies I started chemo with at the hospital who have finished got a bit of neuropathy towards the end but managed to complete it. So there are easier stories amongst the horror! I am sure you will be able to work, look after yourself & good luck
