I didn't like taxol. I had sailed through A/C (OK the likely side effect came after I had finished!) and taxol was harder. Mainly aggravations - bloody nose, lost my tastebuds. I had quite bad peripheral neuropathy - damage to nerve endings In hands and feet. Not everyone gets this and most get it mildly. On the other hand, I continued working throughout and I am not some sort of martyr - working kept my mind engaged on things other than cancer and I wasn't dragging myself to the office! So manageable. I had no fatigue or nausea on either chemo. My day oncology was near work so in for a couple of hours and on with the rest of the day. Must people find taxol easier than A/C , hope it is for you too! Best wishes.
