Finished AC. Taxol next
Finally finished AC. It's been a journey since diagnosed with breast cancer in June. L side mastectomy, Oncotype then started chemotherapy. I have been through an emotional rollercoaster last 4 months...
Apart from peripheral neuropathy, most of the Taxol side effects I experienced were annoying but not terrible. It can affect soft tissue, my nose was most affected - a bit prone to being bloody and crusted. Nose oil (chemist) helped. I also lost most of my taste buds. Alcohol already tasted vile through A/C and most other things became quite tasteless. Very effective for losing weight. But both problems stopped pretty much when the Taxol stopped. My hair did start regrowing which I didn’t expect and was very cheering even if it looked like lambswool, but it was my lambswool! Best wishes.
