I too stayed on Nexium, even after FEC, 12 taxol I wasnt much better, still felt sick.
Pinkkittykat - It really is up to you, I did 4 FEC then 12 Taxol....Im 9 months on and to be honest I dont feel I have any neuropathy like I did. With only 3 to go, I really dont think that the effects of the final 3 would be severe enough. There is a method to how they work out exactly how many treatments, so discuss it all with your Oncologist. I really struggled my last 2 infusions and didnt want to do them, but Im glad I did my treatment Regime exactly how he set it out. In most cases symptoms improve over time, and yes some are left with permanent neuropathy in hands and feet. Talk it through. Hugs Melinda xo
