Tomorrow will be my last chemo.... can't wait. It has been a while since I posted so let me catch you up...
Treatments 2-4 of AC had the same side effects as the first one. No surprises.
Treatments 5-8 are/were Taxol. Much different side effects than AC. Hair still gone, but no nausea. I can tell you though, these side effects are not fun... About 2 days after receiving this treatment, all of my nerves start to fire off and my muscles and joints really start to hurt... The first time I received the Taxol on Monday, the effects started Wednesday and were gone Saturday, but the more that I have the longer they last.... the dr prescribed me something to help with the nerves. It helps some but needless to say, I am very glad this is the last one. I find it helps if you can take some kind of pain meds and just sleep away those days. Also, discuss all the side effects with your dr... they understand and have ideas on how to curb them.
