Triple negative breast cancer
hi everyone just wondering if anyone has had to stop taxol treatment due to side effects. Inwas diagnosed with TNBC in Oct 2017. I have 3 months AC, then started taxol 7 weeks ago. I had a reaction...
HI @Paulamarie - I had neuropathy kick in at about Taxol 6 or 7. At No 10 I was concerned but my oncologist kept an eye on it - it's graded from 1 to 4 and he said mine was Grade 1. I finished all 12 (no 12 was this week) and my toes are numb and fingertips very sensitive esp in the morning. Nails very short helps avoid pressure on the tips. I don't like it but can live with it, apart from sending the occasional glass flying with clumsy hands, and am just hoping that it will wear off asap. Your oncologist is the one who makes the call, or helps you to make the call, if the neuropathy is becoming risky for you now or in future. (I'm also TNBC btw)
