My sis made it through her third AC treatment

[ammebarb]

after a week's reprieve for the Fourth of July holiday and an additonal week because of blood clots. She was edgy about the use of the port with the clots not totally resolved, but so far so good. Her usual worst days are the second day after treatment and the subsequent four or so days after that. I stayed until yesterday and came on home when it looked like she was doing ok. She has one more of the AC in three weeks and then she begins the weekly taxol and herceptin.

My mind goes ahead to anticipating the rigors of the next part of her regimen and I've read the info the Dr. has given her about side effects, but of course nothing says exactly what she will experience.....The Dr. has said that the AC is the harder of the chemos, and I'm really trying to believe it. She was very ill with the blood clot and a respiratiory infection after the second AC. I know that some of you have done the 12 treatments of taxol and herceptin and wonder how you would compare it to AC.

You are all in my prayers regularly. I so apprectiate all the support my sis and I have received since I started to write....this forum is very special!
