A wimp you are not! Taxol was easier for me than AC, but my friend went through treatment the same time I did and had a very rough time on Taxol. Pain issues and blood counts. My friend called the oncologist's office quite a bit when she was on Taxol. I agree that they try to make you as comfortable as possible. DOn't try to tough it out -- take painkillers!! You will get through. Only three to go if you are doing dose dense.
