Feeling well on Taxel

I know this sounds odd but Im concerned about how well I feel. I have had 6 rounds of taxel treatment for breast cancer and apart from tiredness for a day or 2 after treatment I feel so well.

I had breast cancer that spread to my bones and this caused a lot of pain and my painis starting  to reduce and my mobilty is starting to improve.

I  know everyone responds differently to a drug but I was expecting to feel really ill and I dont and this makes me wonder if the drug is working!

    Hi there,

     I had EC then taxol for primary breast cancer.  I suffered a bit with EC (nausea mostly) but then when I moved onto paclitaxel I couldn’t believe how “normal” I felt.  It was a real delight!  My oncologist said most of his patients found it tolerable compared to other chemo.  So fingers crossed it’s doing a brilliant job for you, and just enjoy the lack of side effects.  Best wishes x
