AC is no picnic. I found Taxol easier. I also wore out the couch -- by the time chemo was over and I got my energy back, the springs were sagging. Be very good to yourself. Every one is different. Some of the women here worked full time through chemo. I was too sick with AC. I lived on ice cream. Worked half-time with Taxol. Once treatment was over, my body recovered quickly. I don't have children. Am amazed at how mothers cope with chemo and caring for a family. Puhleez stay away from sick kids while you are on AC. It can do a job on your white blood cell count and leave you open to catching colds.
