Ice Therapy Success - No Peripheral Neuropathy, All Nails Intact & No Mouth Sores

@Hils, what a bummer 😖 I had a bad reaction to Paclitaxel, mine was on the face and chest areas. Night of the treatment, severe facial flushing except around the eyes, I looked like a reverse raccoon! Also little white spots and some swelling and generally itchy and tight.

When Onc saw it it was 7 days later, the rash not quite so red and spotty but now peeling all over the affected area. He advised 1% hydrocortisone cream and one simple antihistamine a day. It took weeks to stop peeling.

i didn’t have to have a dose reduction due to it but was kept on oral steroid and antihistamine before the infusion. I didn’t get it as badly on doses 3 and 4, hardly at all. 

Hope this helps.
