What To Expect??

Hi,

I had a total hysterectomy in October.  Stage 1C.  I had three rounds of taxol and carbo over nine weeks.  My cancer was also clear cell and of an aggressive type.  The chemo was not as bad as I had anticipated.  No vomiting, only some "queasiness" the day after. Doctor prescribed Zofran and Compazine to take at home, but I never needed it.  Since the chemo has a cummulative effect, the third treatment was the roughest.  The worse part was the leg pains and aches.  I was also very emotional, especially after the first treatment.  Hair loss around week three.  Since I work in a health care setting, I took a leave during treatment but started back yesterday.  I feel stronger, day by day.  I do have some tingling sensations in my feet, which is common.  I exercise everyday at least 30 minutes and I try to eat healthy foods.  Am staying away from sugars, and processed foods.  Also no artificial sweetners or caffiene.  I feel very fortunate to have caught it early and am staying positive for a full recovery.  I would be happy to keep in touch with you if you'd like.  Pati
