Dear @Tasia
I nearly stopped Taxol - my problem was quite serious peripheral
neuropathy, particularly in my feet. My toenails had badly discoloured, fingernails much less so but I wasn’t too concerned about that - the pain in my feet, particularly the toes before dose 10 made me concerned about my ability to walk if it got worse. My oncologist and I agreed to continue on a week by week basis - and I almost certainly would not have had my 12th dose - if I hadn’t found a lump
under my good armpit! Long story short, completely unrelated and benign. But I went for all 12 - I felt that I wanted to do everything I could to not go through it a second time. I’d already had surgery and had 12 months of herceptin as well. My feet still have some side effects, nails all recovered in time, but I have no regrets. I started taking Vitamin B about dose 10 - may have been entirely coincidental but things got better after that. Best wishes.
PS Eight plus years on, well and active.
