Chemo FAQS: TC (Taxol/Taxotere + Cytoxan)

Q. Unfortunately, I’ve just found out I need to have chemo. With no node involvement I thought I’d avoid it, but my Oncotype score is in the moderate range, so my oncologist is prescribing TC. What can I expect? A. TC is currently one of the most common types of chemotherapy given to women with early-stage breast cancer. It’s... Read moreChevron

Illustrated party bummer.

I do try and stay positive, and most of the time I am successful. It's been a long road this past year and I am still figuring out the new normal and the new me. One of the side effects of chemotherapy was rapid weight gain. I gained 19 lbs over the course of the last 4 months on Taxol. Nothing fits and I am pretty miserable.

Last day of chemo. Breast reconstruction?

Radiation recall and the fear of the big C

Thus ends my 2nd cycle 6th treatment in my happy fun time Taxol treatments. Monday approaches and I get to let my blood bounce back and try and squash my extra 15lbs of ass into a Halloween costume that steroids have made WAY too tight.   I have the most fantastic acne. I feel 17 again... oh joy except with significantly more fat, no hair... Read moreChevron
