Chinita

So, by my math you must be done all four rounds of AC by now. I hope the end was tolerable and you're glad it's over. Have you started Taxol yet? My experience confirmed what everyone told me, that it's not as hard as AC, but it is definitely cumulative, so I don't have as much energy now as I did 5 or 6 weeks ago at the beginning. Still, much less severe side effects. I hope you find the same, and that you're doing well generally.

Thanks Chinita. Appreciate you sending me the link. Best wishes on full recovery and feeling as best as possible during treatment : )

Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you today. Hope all goes well. My only advice is to plan to rest, stay hydrated, and listen to any tips your infusion nurse has. Do check in when you can.

Just wanted to wish you luck on your chemo. I hope everything goes well for you. It was scarey to think about starting chemo, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was very fortunate to have no UNBEARABLE side effects. Hoping you have smooth sailing.

Hi Chinita! I'll be thinking of you as you start chemo. I was terrified to start AC too. Now I look back thinking how fast it went by, and the worst days fade in my memory. The first one was the worst for me, mostly because of all the unknowns. But some side effects happened to me the first time and never again (flushing, rapid heartbeat, gray tongue, headache...). Stay hydrated, take your meds, talk to your care team, and keep a sense of humor. Whatnexters have definitely been a source of strength!
