Hi @Macca1961 I had a severe reaction to Paclitaxel after my 6th dose I looked like I had severe parkinson's my kids called me jumping jackson......
I had severe reaction to TAC so they changed me to AC only coped with it on 1/2 strength then we started Paclitaxel got to 6th dose and I sounded and looked back had no feeling in hands,feet, mouth, vagina, slurred speech and So we stopped Paclitaxel they gave me 2 weeks off to see how my body recovered.... I went in determined to have the Paclitaxel at half strength but my Onco said he didnt want to kill me.
They started me of FEC I couldn't tolerate it .... we ended up on 1/4 strength of it...
I was very upset and thought OMG I am going to die as I cant have the chemo they prescribed..... I am here alive and NED (no evidence of disease) over 5 years later
