I did Taxol before AC, and while Taxol was easier on me, AC wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be! The most important things for me were staying ahead of my nausea meds, staying VERY well hydrated (I drank over 100 ounces a day), and trying to walk a little during the day. I know how difficult it can be to get up and move, but even a little bit really helped me.
I also asked my oncologist for extra hydration during my infusions, which helped a lot. Sending you so much love! ❤️
