Some women find the bone and muscle pain related to this drug harder than the AC. It used to be mostly the other way around because of the nausea involved in the AC. I think now that they have better anti nausea drugs, AC is easier so the that kind of changes the dynamic.
I have always liked getting my treatments on fridays so I have a few days to recover and I am less likely to miss something important on a weekday.
How have you fared with the Adriamycin, Cytoxin portion of the program?

So far I've done well with the AC. I have one more AC treatment after today before I begin the Taxol weekly treatment. I just found out yesterday that I'll be receiving a pegfilgrastim injection tomorrow. I'm hoping that doesn't knock me down.
