Hi Brittany!
I'm so very sorry that your mom must add yet another round of chemo to her BC list. I did experience Adriamycin with Taxotere and found them to be very difficult. I took all the side effects meds they gave me and would have taken more! I think it is really different for everyone. I talked with a fellow bc patient at the clinic a few times ago who had sailed through both drugs with little or no side effects.
Hope your mom has good results and tolerates the drug well. Come back and ask questions as often as needed. There are so many here with so much wisdom and caring to help. Lots of love and best wishes for you and your mom. ma
