I'm on paciltaxel and carbo for stage 4 cervical cancer. 

I can't say if it's helped yet as only had 4 sessions and awaiting my scan results.

The side effects and day to day living are really managable especially if you are younger.

I think the first one was the worst as it was such a shock to my system. Expect constipation, tiredness/waking up at 3am for a few days, then the pain in hands/feet. I found reflexology really helped with the feet pain. I was really depressed after the 1st one but think this was more the steriods they gave you than the actual chemo, I didn't take as many for the reminder of the sessions and wasn't depressed at all.

I've still been eating 3 meals a day going walking and working. He will loose his hair after the 2nd session  and eye brows/lashes after 4 and I also have bad acne for a week out of every three. You do get more tired as you go on but it's as your blood counts don't fully recover between sessions. So I can no longer run up hills as I'm out of breathe but I can walk up them slowly.

Everyone is different though.

I hope it goes well for your partner.
