C T results and Effects of Taxol?

Hi have had mixed results from my CT scan. Consultant pleased radiotherapy has shrunk not only tumour in my osephgeal but where it spread to stomach nodes. This is treatable only cancer but not so good was small spot on liver now got several spots which he said was unusual. Think I would rather not be in the unusual bracket!! Am away in Burnham now but keep stewing on the damned side effects of taxol. Anyone had this an how did you get on? I will be having it once a week for initial 6 weeks then maybe another he will wait an see. Told me hair loss and tingling and mouth sores. Am considering buying Chemo mouthpiece though £240 wondered again if anyone's used this? Supposed to prevent mouth sores an taste buds being effected an you wear it during treatment. My daughters are desperate for me to have this an originally did say no to Chemo as had such bad reaction but have decided to hell with it as consultant assures me will shrink spots hence be here longer. Haven't slept all night. A bit cross with myself. Take care all

  • Well mixed week really. Was due to start chemo an went to see Consultant who said 6 months with treatment an 3 etc without and when I asked what would kill me said my liver would enlarge an I would get jaundice and things would pack up. On tues morning get a call to say bloods showing I am anemic so no chemo anyways..went for blood transfusion an they had lost Cross Match of bloods from previous day so had to wait 1.30 for new results. Then my body rejects it! So had piritin and liquid put through an now will be 5pm before finished. Shattered both physically and emotionally as always new it was long prognosis but us all in our bubble never thought so soon .
