Hi Ruth,

I believe there is an FAQ somewhere that you can consult. That said, AC
was quite a memorable chemo for me. It sucks, but not necessarily as bad
as you expect. And, hopefully, it will be very worth it.

  One of the most difficult parts is that you will lose your hair -
guaranteed. People are very kind about that and don't really say much
about it.

  Also, you will be tired out more easily. For me, it was like I only
had so much energy for the day and when it ran out, it ran out. So, plan
to do bigger activities earlier in the day and allow yourself to poop
out early. My body also felt more vulnerable during AC.

  AC also gives you bigtime nausea, BUT there are great nausea meds out
there and so this shouldnt be a big problem. If it is, you should
complain loudly because this is an area that can be fixed. You will
probably get Zofran with Ativan and Compazine for breakthrough nausea.
Take the Zofran. I learned the hard way that if you don't take it
preventatively, you can't keep anything down and have to go back in for
IV Zofran. Embarrassing to say the least!

Thats about all I can think of. Be kind to yourself. Ask for help when
you need it. Drink lots of fluids. Have a lot of fun. It isnt as bad is
seems like it will be, but it is definitely something to get though.

Good luck,

Chris
