Paclitaxel side effects
I start my second cycle of chemo on Thursday. Can anyone tell me what possible side effects there may be from Paclitaxel, I am having 12 rounds.

@Blossom1961 has nailed it. I had no nausea, so only took the obligatory steroids with A/C and dropped them altogether with Taxol. Mostly everything tasting of cardboard for about 2 months or more added to the ease of losing 10kgs over chemo. Keeping it off requires greater vigilance! I never want to scare people about neuropathy as it mostly clears up, but while my feet continue to make glacier like progress, I doubt if after 6 years they will ever be normal. Doesn't affect much and no pain, but constant. There may now be better options about how to offset nerve damage, so do please askwhat else is being recommended. Best wishes.
