Ginny,

I had a/c x 4 followed by taxol/herceptin x 12, the a/c was the toughest and I found an hour after I had it, I had severe sinus issues with a blocked nose and mouth.

However, the actual fatigue and queasy feeling was about three days later but did'nt actually get sick but felt like I wanted to.
We're all different in how we respond and I hope you'll be like many others who breeze through it
