Dear Melanie
Welcome to the club you never wanted to join but we are here for you 24/7 for answers to your questions or emotional support. I too had AC follow by Taxol all dense dose. Rads and herceptin too. I am 3 years out and doing well.
It is a scary time but you are probably starting to do better since starting chemo which kicks cancer butt. It is always better to be doing something that helps your situation. If you need to know anything, just ask - someone here has seen and and together, we've seen it all.
Hug to you
