I feel your pain!
I am doing Taxol for the second time and it sucks! My first round was two years (4 rounds of AC then 4 rounds of Taxol 3 weeks apart). I remember waking up in the middle of the night in the worst pain. My doctor gave me Vicodin which made me sick and the Darvoset. The Darvoset worked but I only took it if I was in severe pain other wise I took Advil or Motrin. After 2 treatments my husband broke his leg and couldn't walk or drive so I had to deal with the pain (I had a 7 month old at home!) I would get my treatments on Monday and usually work Thur - Sat. This time around I am getting the Taxol every two weeks along with Herceptin. I get my treatment on Thur and go to work after and work Friday. It is hitting me on Saturday and Sunday pretty hard but I am able to work through it. I agree that moving around is better than just sitting. I do have one toe that is still numb and sensitive to cold from the first round and my onc says that is normal. Hang in there you are on the downhill slope now!!!!!!!
