The good,the bad and the ugly of Taxol
Hi
I have just completed 4 three weekly cycles of AC and am so happy they are over. I had 3 hospital admissions including bilateral lung clots so have found it a little challenging.
Next on my treatm...

I too had AC ( same regime as yours) and 12 weeks of taxol/herceptin combined. After AC I found this much easier to tolerate. I also had some reaction to the AC - very low neutraphils which lead to a hospital stay of 8 days! But other than that the Taxol was a walk in the park compared to AC. Very few side effects - fatigue, mouth ulcers and dry mouth about the worst. Diarrohea was a bit of a probelm at times too but manageable. I finished Taxol on the 6th Jan this year and have just finished 35 rounds of radiotherapy, on 15th of March. I also started taking Tamoxifen in Jan. So far so good. A few hot flushes and night sweats but not too bad ( average 3-4 per week) My hair has grown back - very straight and white!!
Take care and if there is anything else you would like help with just blog away. This is a great site!! My saviour!
Thinking of you when you start your new cocktail. Hopefully it will be ok for you too. Stay positive - this really helped me!
