Taxol/ Dizziness

I did round 3 of Taxol on the 14th of June and today my head feels slightly heavy and it’s almost like vertigo, I’m nervous but appetite is strong and I’m weak and this is Day 10 after the fact, could this be a sign of a brain met? I’m thinking it’s after affect from the chemo since it’s so strong.. please any comments, Denise, Diane?

Hi Lovey1000, I was on taxotere which is another taxane drug like taxol, and at times I experienced some heaviness and dizziness that felt like vertigo. Chemo side effects can be cummulative so be sure to let your doc know what you are experiencing. Wishing you all the best. ~Peg
