Hi Vanessa, yes one more to go! First let me say that the AC side effects were stronger every three weeks. However the Taxol side effects have been steadily increasing over the 11 weeks so far. I haven't had any nails fall out. But they are very tender and sore both fingers and toes. My fingertips are very sore. The rash is bad, I tried Lucas paw paw cream yesterday. My skin is very dry including eyelids and eyes, body aches and sore nose. However by Thursday I am back at work doing 2-3 nights at the moment.
Tips: Moo Goo cream for face and hands (dry skin), any brand single dose eye drops for dry eyes, Phenergan or Claratyne for rash (new tip off the oncology nurse), and/or Palmers cream or Lucas paw paw cream for rash/dry skin. Panadol or Nurofen for body aches and headache. Lots
of rest on Monday to Wednesday. Cheryle :)
