    Hi Bubbles, sorry I didn't notice yr post b/4....I had one mastectomy in Oct. 2001, then in May, 2010, had the second. Did not have re-construction....recovered well and have been through a series of treatments. The last being Taxol from March,2012 to June...so far so good. Last CT shows no new mets in bones, which is good. I feel very well, but get tired easily. Pls keep me pstd on how you feel...whenever I try to ask questions, all response is "everyone is different", wld appreciate current news from someone in same circumstances.. Hugs to you

    You asked about side effects of taxol Ive had chemo w/ taxol last summer. First two days was fine. On the 3rd day I felt some nausea. Your Dr will give you some compozene for the nausea. Which works pretty well. My hair fell out which was devastating. But it grew back quickly after the treatment was done. Hint: check out .biotin. I did experience some pain on left side and shortness of breath. Which might be related to the cancer or side effects of the chemo. I was able to continue to work. Live on my own. I got through it. You will too. Pray for God's blessing. God bless.
