First Taxol down.

Had my first Taxol Monday, all went well. So nice to not have nausea. Fingers crossed I hope that lasts. My Oncologist is usually very informative but when I asked him certain questions he will just smile at me and either side step my question or ask me why do I ask. I asked him about side effect that other ladies have had with Taxol and yep He jsut smiled and kind of avioded my question til I asked again in another way so he quickly answered it. I'm not sure if he just smiles to kind of say there is nothing to worry about, but I like to be prepare.The Nurses didn't really tell me anything either. With my first lot of chemo the nurse talked me through it. The only thing I was told was to tell them if I feel funny. The care they gave me was great though. They had to check my obs every 10 mins incase I had an allergic reaction.1 down 11 to go.
