Last A/C chemo done, now on to Taxol Views: 402

Well, as of 7/25 I have completed the A/C chemo. This Friday I start 12 weeks of weekly Taxol treatments. I am hoping they are better than the A/C treatments. My friend here at work got diagnosed with breast cancer last week…hope it’s not the water! Getting through this one day at a time!
