What Are People's Experiences with TC Regimen Chemo?

Hello, Umm, I just finished my last treatment on Friday. I handled it pretty well. The only side effects I had besides hair loss were fatigue 😩 and I lost my taste 😔 awful. Some minor bone pain, but Claritin helped with that.

Thank You So much@Willie M for your response. I am hoping for good Starting first Chemo on this Thursday What is Claritin for?

I’m halfway though my TC regimen and at about 14 days in my hair started falling out, I am extremely tired (specially the days following treatment), I take Claritin every day for bone pain. I’m not sure why it works but it does and it works better than Tylenol XS.

Thank You so Much @Kathy F. May You have a smooth and easy treatment and May we all heal from this disease soon.

Will you able to do daily tasks? How long the fatigue lasts?

I am able to keep the house clean, dishes, laundry etc. but not much beyond that and I take breaks in between. I have an Etsy store and was able to put it on vacation mode, I wouldn’t be able to keep up with my orders. My treatment days are Tuesday, I suffer from constipation (from the premeds) so Thursdays tend to be my worst day. By Sunday and Monday I am feeling better. I did not think the fatigue would be as bad as it is. All that said; I am in a fb page for TNBC and there are so many ladies that are still working full time and exercising!! I’m in awe 😄

Thats sounds good dear.May your treatment process will be more smooth and easy and same to me.
