Interesting how we each react differently to chemos. I had it MUCH easier with Taxol, compared to A/C. Extreme nausea was a very nasty side-effect for me. The only thing with my Taxol was a constant fever (over 101 fever only twice) and I didn't have any infections!?!? They kept running my bloodwork, just to be on the safe side, and I passed every time. My onc said it was more likely related to myalgia (spell?). To keep my stubborn fever under better control, I had to take Ibuprofen 600 mg almost everyday. But muscle aches & bone pain, though, was quite nothing to me. Pretty odd, I think....
