Hi Nefertari,Nefertari said:I get so confused with the names of the drugs. Is Taxol the same as paclitaxel or is that a totally different drug? I am not on any tablets as I am triple negative.
I had Paclitaxel chemo. My PN started with a bang after number 6 and got steadily worse over the next few days, so they stopped chemo. For the first five I only had pins and needles in my hands but that went away in a few days.

I hope it gets better as walking and driving is a problem sometimes.
Yes Taxol is the same as paclitaxel. It's just the trade name.
We are also triple negative. Did you have Carboplatin as well as Taxol?
