    Thank you bradley lady,I know every one reacts differently to the chemo it's just scary the not knowing.I am feeling a lot better the new anti-sickness drug they gave me seems to have worked.I know it's not nice to lose weight but I could do with losing a few pounds now not feeling sick or been sick I can't seem to stop eating! lol, take care.

    I had three sessions of FEC last year which were indeed "fec"ing horrid and I got fed up with everyone saying the Taxotere was worse.

    For me, it was much easier to cope with.  No sickness (which I had with bells on with the FEC) and not quite so many side effects for me...

    I hope your experience is equally positive.....lots of luck
