Interesting posts. I went in thinking I may have side effects, but after my first infusion of Carboplatin/Taxol I came home feeling ok. I had my infusions Friday, so any side effect would happen over the weekend. I controlled nausea with Zofran and another pill. I did neglect to take a laxative from the start. Zofran plugs you up. I had some real issues later on. Fatigue is what i had for sure, what i could eat changed. as has been posted by others. Water to wash out that chemo is necessary. Half your body weight in ounces if possible. Surprisingly, after 12 weeks, all was fairly good. Then I had one dose of the 4 doses I was to have of Red Devil. I had BRCA 2 and Her 2+ mutations. Pancytopenia happened which is the low counts on /white, red cells and platelets. FATIGUE is real. I had thought i was just super tired. My sister in NY told me by what i said i felt, that i need to get to the doctor ASAP. I got my friend to take me and i was hospitalized after the blood test. Dangerously low blood counts. This does not happen to everyone. To me it did.

This was nearly 4 years ago, and I have some neuropathy still with my in some fingers and on the bottom of my feet. Otherwise with 2 barbie breasts, that is only what reminds me i had breast cancer.
