Re: Can these treatments get any worse?

Hi Dee, I had A/C before Taxol so found that far harder to tolerate than the Taxol which goes to show how we all are different and react differently. I'm sorry you're finding this so tough, I assume you're getting a Neulasta shot a day after chemo to boost your white cell count? if not ask for one. I know you feel like there's no end in sight but take one day at a time, you'll get there and hoping these side effects ease, rest as often as you need to.
