I'm so, so sorry about you having to go through this. I hope and pray that you will recover soon and will beat the beast. Adriamycin and Paclitaxel (Taxotere) are standard chemotherapies used for breast cancer. I went through 17 rounds total (4 of adriamycin cytoxin, 13 of Paclitaxel also known as Taxel), and although I lost my hair completely and could not get out of bed for 8 or 9 days after chemo during the adriamycin, I'm now 1 year off treatment, doing great, and looking at myself and thinking, "Wow, I lost a lot, but I'm alive, well, and I'm HERE!!!!!" It's a real priviledge to be HERE. The side effects of chemo are not nice, and they may show up in some people and not in others, but anytime, anywhere I will put up with that in order to beat the monster. While on chemo for Taxol I had more energy and was able to go back to work part-time. Take a deep breath, pray a lot (there are many of us around here already praying for you), do the chemo, and stay HERE. I pray for your recovery.
