Afraid of changing from AC to taxol

I just finished my fourth dose of AC and I feel like I know how to handle it. I have my little system down. Next week, just in time for New years, I switch to taxol and I'm scared. I don't like AC, but it's a devil I know. Taxol is a new thing to figure out.

How different were people experiences between AC and taxol?

    I have only had taxol. It destroyed my feet and eventually the skin on my hands. I have a friend that had kidney failure. But it seems to work.

    Hmmm. My hand skin is already starting to feel crispy after one session. What happened to your feet?!

    I wasn't expecting taxol to hurt this much. The bone and nerve pain is real.
