    I am so sorry you are having
    I am so sorry you are having to go through this. Let your onc. know how bad it is affecting you, because there is usually ways to lessen the side effects. Don't feel like you have to feel terrible. There maybe something your onc. can do. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

    Love and gentle hugs,

    I agree........
    I agree with everything said here. Let your onc know how hard these drugs are for you. There are so many meds that they can give you to lessen the side effects. You don't have to suffer through it all. They can at least ease, if not completely eliminate, some of the nasty stuff.

    Hugs,

    Yeah, AC sucks for sure. I found the side effects to be cumulative. Everyone is different. I had a hard time with AC but hopefully you will have an easier time. Good luck.

    Chemo CAN be awfully rough...
    I'll simply echo what others have already said... Don't ever hesitate to speak openly about your side effects with your onc, or to call him/her in between appointments. There may be some relief available.

    Best wishes to you.

    Kind regards, Susan

    AC
    Hi, Labtech, I had 6 rounds of TAC, and I know how hard the AC is. It will get better, I promise. Be sure to call your onc. if the meds you've been given aren't working for the side effects you have. I did have to change anti-nausea meds.

    Wishing you better days(and nights) very soon.
