Hi there,

I had this regime last year EC x 4 then taxol x 4 ...

I found the taxol much kinder .... I suffered with bone pain day 2 to 4 then was relatively okay after that. 

Hope it goes okay for you ! Let me know...

Jess

Hi Jess thanks for your reply that has helped me a lot as I was I hospital last week with neutropenia and I don’t want that again my oncologist called and said I’ll be on taxol next Thursday to let my body recover I’m on fortnightly 3 hour infusion I thought that was a lot but can’t wait till 28 th nov when the chemo is finished

We had the same chemo regime!

I wwas so nervous starting the taxol but honestly I really started to get my life back whilst on it ... I found I had more energy and it didn't wipe me out like the EC.

Sorry to hear you were unwell! 

Really not long to go... I think you'll be great on it and it'll soon be over! 

I did get lower leg bone pain so maybe get some paracetamol in and a hot water bottle! 

Keep me updated won't you x

Hi Jessica

My face settled down than I had the most painful bone pain and numbness in feet and hands it was a nightmare still have a bit of numbness now  but at least its calmed down  my  oncologist is going to reduce my dose by 20 percent  next Tuesday so hopefully I will feel better than after next week only two more to go its such a scary situation to be in as you know its lovely chatting to you as you have been through it and understand xxx
