Hi I will be having my first paclitaxel tomorrow and the every week for the next 11 weeks. Has anyone experience of wearing cold therapy gloves and sock pads (suzipads) during treatment to try and prevent possible sideeffect of neuropathy.?
I hope your first dose of paclitaxel went ok and don't be afraid to ask questions like this or raise any concerns with your team during the 11 weeks. If you'd like more information, there is guidance around paclitaxel on our website, including how it works and possible side effects .
I hope this is useful and do let us know how you get on.
I got on well with my first dose of paclitaxel. However I woke up this morning with red cheeks and nose and my face feels warm. It's now 15.40pm and I still look a bit flushed but not as red as earlier. Is this something to be concerned about. Also during the night I woke up a few times with a terrible thirst and drank 2 pints of water which meant a few visits to the toilet.
