Of course! I was on a regimen called Ac-t, which stands for Adriamycin (doxorubicin) and cyclophosphamide followed by Taxol (paclitaxel). Adriamycin and cyclophosphamide are generally given each other for many cycles, and then Taxol is provided separately. The backlash varied personally throughout treatment - from nausea and fatigue to hair loss and changes in taste sensation. but everyone's practice can be diverse.
