I guess I was lucky with the A/C. I had dense dose 4 A/C followed by 4 Taxatere. While on the A/C I took EMEND the day of and then for 2 days after. I was fortuante I was never nasueated. I did drink plenty of water. The only thing I had was that my white and red blood counts dropped severely. I had to get the Neulasta shots and Procrit shots. I did get fatigued as well. A/C is doable just make sure you drink plenty of fluids and take your antinaseau meds whether you think you need them or not.
