I didn't find taxol easy. I was just miserable on it. I did make it through though. I did very little but I went to the pool and walked at least 3 times a week. My balance was affected. And I was teary. I needed pain relief for the aching muscles from day 3 to 5. You aren't alone. Many if us have trod this path ahead and get it.
I couldn't have hot showers or wear jewellery due to the skin rash. My nose would spontaneously drip and bleed, armed with a tissue in every pocket. My eyes watered and were sensitive to light and chlorine (I wore safety glasses in the pool to reduce splases). But here I am 4 years on. I would do again if I had to. I was on herceptin also and this was stopped earlier than the planned time. I was upset but I recovered and accepted I had done all I could. Trust you team if they say it's enough. It's hard and scary to stop early if necessary but it's not uncommon. X
