I'm a 67 year old female who had both ductal and lobular in one tumor (4 cm) in the left breast and ductal in the other breast.  No lymph node involvement.  Stage II.
I finished my treatment the end of December 2009.  The treatment included cytoxin and taxotere.  It did have the typical digestive and nasal effects and the tiredness.  I am six moths out and am still having severe bouts of "not making it to the bathroom" and tiredness.  Is this normal after 6 months?
Thanks,
DH

Go to your family doctor about the bathroom issue. Have your blood counts returned to normal? That may be causing the tiredness if you are still anemic.

I would definetly ask your doctor about the bathroom issues. That should not continue for six months out. Tiredness, on the other hand can continue for a while.

Best wishes :)
