Starting Paclitaxol after AC
I’m hoping you can please let me know for those of you who did 4 x rounds of AC prior to starting Paclitaxol for 12 weeks, how did you find the Paclitaxol in comparison to the AC, and what side effect...
Hey @Charles76,
Everybody is so different. It took me about 10 days to recover after the last AC.
Quite honestly I found Paclitaxel not much of a problem at all compared to that. The only issues I had was a weird skin rash and a bit of sun sensitivity.
One of the onc nurses advised me to paint my nails with a dark colour gel polish. It worked a treat. No nail problems at all. Minor PN the afternoon of treatment but that's about it.
Fingers crossed you sail on through lovely.
