Hi Lynne,
Sorry to meet you here. I don't comment on here often because I normally just take a quick look at the conversations when I'm in the right frame of mind and then switch to something else when it gets too much. But I am happy to tell you that paclitaxel is good, well it was at least for me. I had 8 cycles (32 weeks) all up, because I was handling it so well. I had zero nausea, I felt completely fine. A few times I even went straight out for dinner with a friend after treatment!! I am only 38 though, so maybe that's the beauty of being "young". You do lose your hair, but it is slowly over time. It was much better than the FEC chemo that I had in 2009.
I totally understand you wanting to organise everything - but it is definitely too early to organise a funeral/will. Move that down your list of priorities right now. Way down!! Just focus on moving into your next phase of treatment.
I truly wish you all the best, and never give up hope.
