Re: Feel like a mac truck ran over me

Penny, My treatment was 6 years ago, but I do remember that Taxol was the hardest for me. Do check in with your doctors or the chemo nurse and see if they have something you can take to lessen the pain. I remember I could barely stand up and cried when I did. They called me in some drugs and that helped. Hope you are getting better as I type.

Hugs,
