Its been a while

Hi @Joleystub, I had exactly the same issues with paclitaxel. I had a terrible episode of mouth ulcers I did all the right things and got them anyway. They got so bad my oncologist gave me a rest from paclitaxel for a week and he also gave me medication to clear up the mouth ulcers, and then started me again with a 30% reduction of the dose, and they never came back, this happened around dose 8. Mine were so bad I could hardly swallow, eating was really painful, so let your oncologist know asap. I also had dry eye issues as well, which affected my vision, particularly reading. My ophthalmologist said my right eye was extremely dry, and I had to use eye drops every hour for a couple if weeks, gradually reduced to a couple of times a day, more some days. I think this will be an ongoing problem for me as I finished chemo in may and still need to use the drops, particularly in my right eye. I'm using hylo-forte which you can get in the chemist. I can't use my contact lenses anymore and got myself multifocal glasses. You should get your eyes checked to see if you have the same issue.
