I was the same as you, I had time to get things ready as you only use it for the taxol part of it. @Afraser - great idea to take vitamin B. I did quite well as I only had a ‘tingly’ feeling in some of my toes toward the end. What dose of Vit B should be taken? I wonder if it would help with my joints and feet from the Femara I take?
@CarrieP make sure you let your doctor know if you feel anything at all - as it can kind of build up and keep going after you finish taxol. My doctor told me not to hide it from him as they want to avoid any permanent damage. Also, he told me that whilst 12 is the number, he said that taxol was still effective if I only made it to 9. He told me this on the first day of taxol because he wanted to reassure me that it wasn’t a big deal if I didn’t reach 12, it was more important to ensure I didn’t have permanent nerve issues.
Another good thing to remember is that your medical team will be doing everything they can to keep you well during chemo, so make sure you let them know if you are having any issues. I went out and bought all kinds of things ‘just in case’ I needed them. Whilst I didn’t really use a lot of them most of the time, they were handy to have - biotene mouthwash, fruit tingles, Moo Goo products etc.
I also kept a calendar and put a big Red Cross on each day I finished a round of treatment - I loved doing that!
I will send the pics through. Take care M x
