Hi. I am new to the group. I was diagnosed in August 2021 with Grade 3 Invasive Ductal Cancer. My treatment has been Epirubicin and Cyclophosphamide (EC) for 3 cycles. Each cycle is 3 weeks with the EC being given in the first week. My treatment has been described as 'agressive'. I have had the usual side effects of feeling queezy, dry skin, sore mouth, tiredness and hair loss.

My treatment is just about to change to Paclitaxel, once every week for a 3 week cycle. I have to have 3 cycles of this.

I am just a bit anxious to know if the possible side effects are likely to be as good/bad as the ones I had on EC. I felt really bad during the first week and slowly improved during week 2 and 3. If I'm receiving Paclitaxel weekly, then am I going to be ill all the time?

I know everyones journey is different, but I just wondered if there was a common link that everyone experienced.
