HI Nikkilee....This is my second time with TNBC. first time 2013 and did 4 x AC + 12 taxol and 20 rads.Nikkilee said:Hi @ween,
i too was diagnosed with triple negative but I didn’t start suffering with peripheral neuropathy until week 10 so I only had 2 cycles left so they continued the paclitaxel but I mainly suffered in my hands but they are all back to normal now , I finished treatment in sept 2019 . I agree with other replies talk to your care nurse and explain your feelings/concerns etc and they will give you all the information you need . Good luck and take care xx
I did get the PN pretty bad but just with sensation and pain - not skin or nail issues. This time around they are doing AC x 2 (can only have 6 in your lifetime) and due to last time on taxol they want me to do EMF instead- I am a little worried that this may not be enough to keep it coming back a third time....have your PN issues resolved themselves? thanks...
