Dear Ephima
You don't sound like a wimp at all, that's a very tough hand you've been given. As always, it will be one step at a time. Chemo tends to affect people differently and if there is a rhyme or reason to it , I've never worked it out. Pacletaxel side effects can include peripheral neuropathy (starts with tingling in the toes and finger tips, worth watching and taking action to limit damage). This chemo tends to be rough on soft tissue so you can get bloody noses or blurry eyesight (will all clear after treatment). I lost most of my tastebuds. Came back just as fast. On the positive side, I had no nausea or fatigue from any of my chemo treatment. We are amazing creatures and almost anything is possible. Keep positive and keep strong.
