Taxol/carboplatin side effects???

Hello I am new here and I was diagnosed with IDC TNBC no mutation in July 2024. I start chemo August 26, 2024. I have 12 rounds of taxol/ carboplatin and then 4 rounds of AC with keytruda every three weeks for a year.


I’m extremely scared and no one can tell me what side effects I may have. So I was wondering if anyone had the taxol/ carboplatin and every 3 weeks keytruda, if so what did you go through? I know it’s different for everyone and that’s fine I just want to know what I’m possibly in for. I have a huge fear of vomiting I know that’s probably pathetic but that’s my fear.

If you can help that would be really appreciated! Thank you in advance!
