Hi Gsdlover1971, sorry to hear you have been diagnosed with breast cancer. I was diagwith invasive ductal carcinoma in January. I had 3 cycles of EC, then 4 docetaxel and had minimal side effects throughout. Everyone has different experiences on chemo, so keep positive as it may not be as bad as you think. I wish you well moving forward. Xx
Patients vary in their experience's of treatment. Not everyone is the same. But overall, fatigue can increase over treatment cycles, and some adjustments around how you do your daily activities may be needed. Some people have active days, then rest days. Or take it more gently, the first few days after each treatment.
Hopefully, other forum members in the general section of Cancerchat (not ask the nurses), can interact with you, and can often offer tips and advice, based on their own experiences of having treatment.
I hope that this helps,
