Paclitaxel
I’m have trouble with my feet and hands after the forth treatment of Paclitaxel. My oncologist is talking about stopping it altogether. I still have 8 more treatments to go and was wondering if anyone...
I'm so sorry that you are having trouble with peripheral neuropathy already.
Side effects seem extremely variable.
I was lucky and finished all 12.
I don't have any suggestions re treatment, other than discussing it thoroughly with your Oncologist and Breast Nurse.
My Oncologist was very ready to stop the Taxol early if PN was significant.
I wish there was more accurate information available re these cold therapies. Ie hands, feet and scalp.
We only seem to have anecdotal stories.
Unfortunately, I don't think that there are enough research dollars. It would be great to know if these cold therapies actually work, or what rate of success could be expected. These cold therapies do take a bit of effort, and are not comfortable.
