Hi...Remember me? I started with my first chemo on Oct 22 & was glad to get over the fear of the unknown.It certainly wasn't a piece of cake but apart from the first seven days of feeling quesy & miserable,the rest of the days were fairly ok.My hair started falling out after 2 weeks with just a few strands left.My first 4 chemos were AC.From the 5th chemo onwards I'm getting Taxol. My 6th chemo is on Feb 21 & then two more to go followed by a break & radiotherapy. All I want to say at this stage is that chemo is something one can bear & as advised here at this site I have to take one step at a time.One can't shorten the cure period so one has to put up with it patiently.I take care of my food intake,my skin,hygiene etc.with a single-minded devotion.

I shall keep you all posted on my progress by which I hope others to benefit as much as I have from the support I got from this wonderful site.
