Hi. I have had 2 rounds of EC chemotherapy. Wow! To say it is tough is an understatement! I managed 12 Paclitaxel with hardly any side effects but this EC is very different. I had my infusion on Thursday (6 days ago) and I still fell horrible. I feel very weak, dizzy, my limbs don’t feel like mine. I do not have a temperature thankfully. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thank you xx

Yes, I've found it grim. In order of horribleness I'd say the VileTaste, followed by the Total Exhaustion, with the alternating constipation and diarrhoea a close contender. The baldness I'm not bothered about. It gets slightly better towards the end of the cycle, but then they give you another dose - though the oncologist reduced the last one probably because I was saying 'Any more of this and I would prefer to DIE'. I hope your course is not a long one. Hang in there.

Yes! Nothing further to add because I think Crancoll summed it to be fair, but yes.
