Re: Low body temperature with taxol
Hi @Lmc1310 just jumping in to say hello and welcome. If you are experiencing any side effects during treatment which may be causing you any concern, it can sometimes be best to have a chat with your Oncologist about it. Your Oncologist will be able to clarify any of those questions that pop up which you might not be sure about. Hope this helps and that you start to feel a little better soon. x
