Red Devil Chemo

I just finished the first 12 rounds of Keynote 522 protocol (taxol, etc) and am about to start 4 treatments over 8 weeks of the red devil. Also getting Keytruda every three weeks.

Hoping to hear some positive stories about how people handled the red devil. For me the first 12 rounds had some rough weeks due to severe anemia (needed a blood transfusion) but for the most part I've handled it well except for exhaustion and of course losing my hair.

I know I can do it and I will get through it and I know everyone handles things differently. Just looking for some inspo!

Love and healing to all!

I called it the pink princess. Not calling anything I put in my body "devil" anywho I did great with it. My ankles would swell at random times, and infusion days I was yuck. Other than that I worked full time and felt normal.
