I had 2 of your 3 (CMF). I did have nausea at first, but was given meds for that and then did ok. Never missed work but did arrange so I would have both the day of chemo and the next day off. Towards the end, I was starting to feel pretty tired but, back in 1987, there were less options to help with anemia and low white blood count. Hope this helps!0 -

not sure what fec is but I had CMF the first time as well. it was easier than AC and taxol. I describe the feeling as riding behind the exhaust of a bus. none is fun, but necessary.0 -

I had 2 rounds of FEC 100. I am probably not your typical person to ask because I had issues with all of my chemos and I had 3 different cocktails and had "Big D" with all of them. I will say that FEC was a little easier on my body than TCH(Taxotere/ Carboplatin/ Herceptin) and it did take me a little less time to recoup when I was taking FEC than when I was taking TCH. Zofran and Lomotil were my friends during all of my chemos. Hope you have an easier time with yours.
