Hi . I've just finished 4 cycles of EC over the last 3 months and had my 1st cycle of paclitaxel last Friday . I was advised by my oncologist and specialist nurses it's much easier to manage that the double EC treatment .  I was relieved as i'd had lots of nausea and vomiting with the EC and a 13kg weight loss .  However since having pax on Friday I've had painful joints , ankles , knees , wrists etc . I'm taking ibuprofen and paracetamol but not helping a great deal . It's really quite painful . I have 11 more cycles of this to get through as I'm in 6 months of chemo pre double mastectomy for grade 3 triple negative breast cancer .  It states clearly that unfortunately it's a side effect but has anyone Found anything else that helps the pain ? Or experienced it? I'm hoping it's not going to get progressively worse ! 
 

Thanks in advance 

Nicola
