I also had 4 dense dose taxol treatments after the AC ones so the fun never stopped.
However with AC I had dry skin and eyes - just terrible. Never needed to moisturize my skin until then. I bought a regular body lotion for the body but a top of the line night cream and day cream for my face (I still use it now almost 2 yrs later and I swear it makes my skin look younger). For the eyes, I used nothing but this got better within weeks (as taxol had its own list of side effects which were different than AC - except for the fatigue). I got mouth sores and started eatting yogurt and that helped. I also rinsed my mouth out alot with plain warm water.
Fatigue goes with the territory. Rest and nap as much as you can. Also, though, take small walks and build up to long walks. Its getting to be the right season and walking helps physically and mentally. You don't even have to convert to a power walker/runner - just a nice slow pace.
If you are still getting bone pain from Neulasta, the walking might help that too but taking some aspirin or ibuprofen may also help.
Eat well, lots of fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Take care of your body - it has been through hell and now you need to help it come back and it will. You can trust on that.
Kindest regards
