Round 2 Taxol
Finished my 4 x 3 weekly rounds of AC, doing it tough at the moment but all in all have been very lucky with side effects etc.
Nausea, headaches, insomnia, no taste etc but kept what I could unde...
Hi - I hope you are one of the lucky ones with few side effects from Taxol. In the 12 weeks I had it, the worst things were tingly toes and fatigue. Neither of them was serious, and a cup of warm milk stopped the tingles at night when they seemed to be worst. And strangely, a walk seemed to fix the fatigue, especially in the afternoons. Have a nap if you can when you get really tired from trying to keep up with normal chores. The medications you will be given make a huge difference - take them even if you think you don't need to - it is easier to prevent symptoms than fix them! All the best - you are doing really well - big hug - Michelle x
