Bit nervous about the start of DD Taxol on Wednesday.

Most people find taxol easier than other chemotherapies so think positive. Most common side effects are temporary and end with treatment. Good luck!

Honestly the 1st session is pretty good. I had a mild reaction which was sorted quickly and I continued and completed all 12. The side effects accumulate over time so tiredness develops, upset tums increase over time. Just make sure you have some panadeine in case you get joint aches on day 3. I got miseranle on it but I had fluid retention issues which went away quickly once finished. Hopefully you won't.

You got this girl. Kath x
