Shadowpilot,
Add me to the list of people who are glad to hear you've decided to go forward with the chemo. I am nearing the end of my treatments, and as awful as it's been, I am happy for the opportunity to hit this wit all that I can. It's definately do-able as long as you have a good attitude and a good support system. I was fortunate to have both. Remember that this is time for YOU...sleep when you need it, cry, laugh, whatever. The time will pass and you will get through it and be better for it.

My advice is to ask them to infuse you slowly if possible. Bill mentioned the Benedryl...they always do mine at 50mg over 30 minutes, which works well. I have to have the Taxol done very slowly to avoid any allergic reaction. As long as they do that, it hasn't been bad at all.

Good luck...when do you start? We'll all be watching for more replies from you.
