Hello Gsdlover 1971 and thanks for your post,

I am sorry to hear that you are feeling nervous before your your taxol treatment. 

Everyone responds to different treatments in different ways and hopefully you may find any side effects easier to manage then the EC treatment that you have just had.

We do have some information on our website about Taxol.

The important thing is that you let your team know if you are having any side effects and hopefully they can try and minimise them with other drugs.

Sometimes it can help to keep a diary so you can record how you are feeling each day and you can report back when you have your appointment before your next cycle of treatment.

I do hope that your treatment goes well.

If you would like to chat this through with one of the helpline nurses then you are welcome to give us a ring.   The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

All the best,

Catherine

Hi Sharon and thanks for getting back to us again,

Do let the nurses know about your worries. You may be given a premedication before the Taxol treatment to help prevent any allergic reaction.

I do hope it all goes well and we are here if you want to talk it through.

Our helpline number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the helpline nurses are here Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

All the best,
