Hi
You're half way done! Like RNSW I got some blood when I blew my nose but not proper nose bleeds. Nose oil stopped the inside of my nose feeling cracked and clogged. Taxol can be hard on soft tissue so your nose,eyes and mouth may be temporarily affected. I also lost a fair swag of my taste buds (very effective if you want to lose a bit of weight!). No ulcers but then I didn't get them at any time. You may need to keep up the Biotene. Look after your nails as suggested, they can discolour or crack. Watch for tingling in fingers and toes and get advice early on how to minimise this's for it starts. Good news is that often hair starts growing back when you are still on Taxol!
Good luck.
