I finished Taxol Aug 06. My onc gave me a steroid for the pain. Dexamthasone. I could barely walk when I called on a Friday night and said I can't take it any more. This worked for me. A/C was not a lot of fun either. I can honestly say, that I am starting to forget what I went thru. I finished radiation 45 days ago, and that is the most prevelant in my mind. My point: absolutely no fun to go thru any of this...but the bad experience does start to fade away. Do not feel bad about complaining. We all understand.
All the best, Catherine in Oregon
