Fishing for experiences....
Hi everyone...
I am currently halfway through my first round of chemo. Week 6 of 12 taxol/herceptin. Compared to what i've heard here, it has been a walk in the park. With the exception of being sleepy most of the time, i have no complaints. AND i still have a full head of hair (although a heavy shed going on).
My second round will be 5-FU, Epirubicin & Carboplatin every 3 weeks for 4 cycles. I have that familiar feeling of dread approaching. Like someone is about to wipe the smile off my face.
Can you guys give me some input on the above regimen? Thanks!
