Most people find paclitaxel easier - I didn't but it's the exception that proves the rule! Most of the side effects are short term, over with treatment. The only one I would watch out for is peripheral neuropathy - usually starts with pins and needles sensation in fingers and toes. Again, most people get a relatively mild reaction, and it clears up after treatment, but it can get serious, so make sure your oncologist knows if you encounter it. I found vitamin B helped a bit, others have used cold mittens or ice water. Worst scenario is a reduced dose or stopping a little early, but not likely unless you have a bad case, and chances are you won't. Best wishes.
