No you are not alone, I loathed Taxol! Apart from the peripheral neuropathy (still have funny feet after 5 years) I had a bloody nose, lost my tastebuds, and sported multicoloured nails. No pain apart from my neuropathied feet which were very painful at one point. Most everything else cleared up when I stopped, but A/C was much easier. Most people do find it the other way round. Happily I had no fatigue or nausea with either.
