Dear @OnNett
Interesting that you got tachycardia - I did too, half way through paclitaxel but the general view was that it was more likely to have been triggered by the A/C I had before. Apparently slow heart rates are more likely with the taxanes. But I loathed paclitaxel - I got peripheral neuropathy (no
doubt what caused that), lost my tastebuds, bloody nose. Apart from losing my hair, I was fine through A/C - no nausea, fatigue etc. in fact, if it didn’t cause the tachycardia, I felt and was fine! So don’t despair ahead of time - it may be much better than you think. These things are so variable! Nearly eight years on, I am really good - keep going, keep your chin up and always ask for help , suffering in silence is never a good idea. Best wishes.
