Oh ok, well that's Taxol then, so symptoms hit day 3 after infusion and its generally nerve, muscle and bone pain. See how you go, just make sure you communicate with your team, its certainly manageable. My nails were a bit lined and strange and kept breaking, but really had no probs with my hands, mild neuropathy in my feet which 1yr on still causes a bit havoc, I cant be on my feet for hours or walk more than 30mins im in pain. Once treatment is finished, theres lots of things you can take to build yourself back up again :) let us know how you go. Hugs Melinda xo
