Re: question
Actually things sound pretty normal! I don't mean to make light but I had many of the same issues as you Fatigue, pain, shoulder issue (it was torn rotator cuff), lethargy, emotional, forgetfulness. Chemo Brain was real and was alarming. I am happy to say that it DOES go away but not instantly. Over time I noticed that it steadily improved. Today I jokingly blame things on chemo brain but it is mostly gone. I also lost weight and can assure you that it came back and then some!
I do not quite understand your regime if you have already had A/C are you next doing Taxol?
Can you post your stats as ur signature so we know where u are at in treatment?
Keep the faith!
