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.

Hi @December2018,
Welcome to the forum lovely.
I put on 4kgs through AC not from overeating as everything tasted disgusting.
I had almost no issues with Paclitaxel. For me it was far easier than the AC. I worked right through, drove myself there and back which I couldn't do on the AC. No nausea, no fatigue. I had minimal toe tingling for about two days after each treatment but no further issues.
What I did have was a high sensitivity to sunlight and a weird skin rash that kept coming and going. I had to stay on prednisone the whole way through control that. The skin rash appears to be not very common and I have dodgy skin to begin with.
All the best with the rest of your treatment
