Kate,

I had a mastectomy before I started chemo, so I wasn't pressed for time. The cancer was already removed. The second and subsequent cycles may be easier than the first. My 3rd and 4th cycles of the A&C were easier than the first two. But by that time, I was receiving the neulasta and anrinesp as I needed it to keep by blood counts up.

Good luck with your decision, my prayers are with you!
