Taxol

I was on Docetaxol which is similar to Taxol after finishing AC. I found the AC was a walk in the park compared to Docetaxel. The bone pain was terrible. My oncologist told me to take one extra Dexamethasone tablet on day three or four when the pain set in. This together with paracetamol keep the pain under control. Yes three of my toenails began to fall off too and after finishing chemo end of June, I've had two more go. I also developed neuropathy in my hands and feet with numbness and tingling which is only now beginning to disappear. I think I may have had a higher dose with a treatment every three weeks and not twelve weekly doses like you and this may have caused more severe symptoms. But your oncologist can adjust the dosage if need be. I wrote down everything I was experiencing with Docetaxol and my oncologist had a good picture of what was happening. Sophie I hope this doesn't worry you too much. You may not get any other side effects apart from the bone aches and pains. Fingers crossed you won't. Lots of love, take it slow and be kind to yourself. Janey xxx
