Terri,

We will NEVER roll our eyes...we all asked the same questions one time or another!

What is your job? Are you on your feet a lot? And what day of the week is your treatment? I definitely worked with Taxol/Herceptin but couldn't function well on A/C. I think it can be done depending on what your job is and how you respond to the taxol. If you have to be on your feet a lot or carry things (especially delicate breakable things) it may be harder. I broke lots of dishes before we went to paper plates! LOL

You won't be too drugged up. The nausea meds are usually there for the first 24/48 hours I think? Am I right anyone? I don't remember taking any nausea pills after I received the taxol. The benedryl made me sleepy and then I took pain meds that made me mellow but not sleepy.
