I remember the chills afte...Re-reading your blog... I remember the chills after the Taxotere.... I couldn't stop shaking.... My heart goes out to you... Well, all I can say is, although it was awful, it does get better...

Much worse than the FEC regime. I ended up getting sick, nauseous, in the hospital, needed blood transfusions.... uggghhhh....
