Yes R, like Theresa and my onc nurses say, the people that fare the best are the ones who respond positively to most treatments. I know the process isn't pleasant, but once the side effects wear off, you're going to have a whole new attitude. Try starting Vit B6 now to ward off body aches from taxol. Ask the ons nurses, they know all.
I think it might be worthwhile getting back to the US to continue EAP, I'm assuming Tykerb.
Hang in there. We all truly care and know how hard this is. I adopted the one day at a time policy but I don't know how I would feel if someone else adopted it for me.
Take a vacation at the Useless Spa. You deserve it. Try to make it useful somehow,watching educational videos, smelling the flowers, but if it's not, so what? I hope you can find peace to continue fighting your disease.
Talk to people. It helps to spread the burden around. My best wishes to you. Bev.
