Anyone had AC-T chemo combination for breast cancer?

Hi there. I planned the dosages in conjunction with my work schedule (worked two jobs throughout). My experience of "dose dense" chemo (same as yours) was pretty good. Got it on Wednesday, good on Thursday, started feeling sick and tired Friday, OK by noon Saturday where I would treat myself to my favorite food, just in time to practice and play church services on Sunday. They gave me Neulasta to protect the WBC count. I know "attitude makes the difference" is an often over used phrase, but it's really true. When I felt really weak and tired, I'd just get up and walk around. It's amazing what that habit can do. I wish you all the best. Believe you can get through this. As one nurse told me "treatment has a beginning time and an ending time" And by all means, drink all the water you can! (ILC, modified radical mastectomy, left: Stage IIIC, dxed 2/13/2019)

Hello! I want to thank you so very much for responding & sharing your experience with me! It is a lot to take in.
BreastCancer stage 2 with Lymph Node involvement...
Removed 14 nodes & 3 were cancerous. Oncologist said 8 rounds of Chemo & Radiation afterwards.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Besides a positive attitude and staying active, do you have any more tips for someone who will be starting chemo next week? Did you do any fasting? Eat particular foods? Avoid particular foods? Take certain supplements?
