Cool Started wit TCH, bad reaction

I started TCH at the end of February but ended up hospitalized with vasculitis, probably from the Taxotere. After 6 weeks of rest, during which I kept up the H treatments, my second chemo treatment was abraxane only + H; also my third. Now I am about to have the carboplatin re-introduced and am concerned. Abraxane is great in that there's no nausea, but I have back pain, the constant feeling that I'm coming down with cystitis, numb toes, and loads of emotional effects, such as hostility; what more will I experience with carboplatin! I'm considering telling my onc that today's treatment will be my last-- the hell with treatments 5 and 6. Alternatively, if he can give me something for the emotional effects that works fast, then I might find the strength to continue. But I do not want to spend the whole summer angry and depressed.
