Hi is anyone on this? Just curious about side effects and how it has affected anyone. Anything useful I would be grateful for. Can I do anything to prepare for it. I start in 2 weeks. I know ever...
Most Taxol side effects clear up after treatment stops. It can be a bit hard on soft tissue, so sometimes tired or blurry eyes or sore, occasionally bloody noses. I lost my taste buds - great for weight control! Luckily the handful of things I could still taste were healthy! Taxol can affect nerve endings in your hands and feet - any sign of tingling or pins and needles let your oncologist know. Ice water or ice mittens during treatment may be preventative. Best wishes.
