No symptoms yet...

I just had my second round of AC this past Wednesday. No symptoms at all. I am starting to doubt if they gave me chemo.... am I the only one here?

I know they gave me a lot of meds on Wednesday to help with nausea and fatigue but I think that by now the effect would die down, right?

Thoughts?

Have a wonderful day. Hugs

Don't worry about possible side effects in advance. i know that I spent a lot of time being concerned about having an allergic reaction to taxol because I do have anaphylactic allergies, but it never happened. Tulips is right, exercise is wonderful, even if it means a 5-minute walk every day. I found that getting outside really helped me and so I tried to do it every day. The fresh (and cold) air was wonderful in my face and got me out of the house so I didn't feel as house-bound. 

Regarding hair - prior to being diagnosed, my naturally blonde hair was almost at my elbows. I cut it so that I could donate as much as possible and wore a punk rocker cut for about 3 weeks until it fell out. Once I cut it, I like having short hair and like you, am thinking about keeping it short once it's regrown. Now, it's starting to come back in, but nobody can see it because it's still quite short and blonde, so it's hard to see it. Honestly, it doesn't bother me to be bald now, I"m used to it and I like the speed of coming out of the shower and going out the door. No worries with shampoo and conditioner, no hair dryer, and while I do have a wig, I hardly ever wear it because it doesn't feel good on my head. 

Since your taxol is being administered every week, the dose will be lower and you may not have any side effects at all!! I'm going to keep my fingers crossed and pray that you don't have any. 

Hope that greasy meal was the cause of your nauseous stomach!

Have a super day today,

Jacklin
