Hi there @MillyMollyMulberry...I also had paclitaxel after having had the AC part of my chemo. Paclitaxel was a lot kinder to me than the AC which was not dose dense, but three weekly X 4...so three months. With the paclitaxel, I had a very drippy, blood tinged nose and ended up being the nanna with a tissue in each pocket, and one tucked into both sleeves. My big toenail on my left foot developed pus pockets around the sides, but the nail remained intact. The big toenail on the right foot lifted and came off...three times over the following two years. But the most important tip I can give you is this.....never trust a taxel fart...ever! I got more than I bargained for on a few occasions. Good luck with your treatment.
