    Hey I had the same treatment before my

    mastectomy 4 EC and then 12 taxol. I found myself very teary with the taxol and down. I couldn't be bothered doing anything. Push yourself to go for a walk even if it's just round the block to start with see if that helps. It's a tough time going through chemo but just hang in there it'll be over soon xxx
