Hi Kriss, I can only say that everything everyone else has already said is so true. I finished 4 dense doses of A/C in late July and feel great now. I had the usual side effects minus the nausea,(take those anti nausea meds as prescribed). It wasn't a picnic but you make it through. I had some good days while on chemo, usually the 4 days before going for another treatment. About 3 weeks after all chemo treatments ended I started to feel like I was getting back to myself and now I feel great. You will always have cancer as a part of your life but as time goes on, you won't be so consumed with it. Best of luck and let us know how it is going.
