Re: New to the Group
Tracie,
I am having the exact same treatment plan as you are. I just got done with the AC part of it, and it wasn't that bad. I am now scared of the next part--the taxol and herceptin, although people say that AC is worse. I think the fear is of the unknown more than anything else. Right now I am dreading sitting in the chemo chair for 5-6 hours while they monitor me for any "reaction". I am also divorced and not looking forward to spending that night alone at home...
