Unless you are one of the women who gets severe neuropathy in your legs or feet, I think that if you want to do it, you will be able to do it.

If you end up changing your mind, that's a woman's perogative, eh?

Go for it. Just make sure you understand your limitations if you are way too tired (shouldn't really happen as much on Taxol/Herceptin like AC). Don't try to be an Amazon Warrior Woman if you aren't up to it but also don't not try just because...

You know yourself and your body better than anyone and if your onc says ok (but don't hurt yourself) then go for it.
