AC!!! I had a hard time with it too. My friend who was diagnosed at the same time I was went to a wedding and several birthday parties while she was taking AC. I, on the other hand, ended up in the hospital for a frew days with a respiratory infection. My red blood cells also went way down and I could barely sit up. I was so sick that I didn't have my fourth treatment and the doctor delayed Taxol for one month so I could recover, which I did. Had no trouble with Taxol. In fact, I worked during Taxol. We are veterans of the cancer war.
