Side effects of taxol
Hi, I'm currently about to do my 10th weekly taxol treatment (only 3 treatments left) have had numbness /tingling in fingers from 2nd treatment but each treatment the tingling has gotten slightly wors...
Hi Pinkkittykat,
i completed my last taxol of 12 two weeks ago. I also had all the side effects you mention. My fingers and toes got slowly worse from number nine treatment and after number 12 still got worse for the week after. The complete soles of my feet were numb. The last few days there has been an improvement. I have been pleasantly surprised how quickly things have started to improve. My nose isn't bleeding every time I blow it, my tastebuds are slowly getting back to normal and the fatigue is far less. I still have pain in my fingernails and need help with little things like getting credit/debit cards out of my wallet. I also lost a couple of toenails but hopefully no more.
you are on the countdown. The relief when you walk out that door after the last treatment is indescribable. I still have three weekly Herceptin until July but at least I know the side effects will not cntnue. Have a celebration when you are finished, however small.
