Hoping I can join this group too. I have my second chemo tomorrow which got changed from TAC to AC + Taxol (weekly). First round of TAC didn't go over well and my WBC dropped to .7. The neuleusta shot seems to kick in the second week for me (onco said it works that way for some). Then my WBC went to 13. I had a lot of stomach issues with TAC so hoping just doing AC will be better. Happy to have found this group. I need the support.
Thanks
