I started on Letrazole which didn’t work at all so then I had Abraxane. I did lose my hair but I bought a wig and that resolved the hair issue. Other than that I didn’t really have any problems until the end when after 8 rounds I started getting slight numbness in my fingers and toes. I had another round and then stopped. Ultimately I ended up with minimal numbness in my feet but nothing much. I was happy with the results of Abraxane as since then which was June 2016 I’ve been stable on Exemestane.

Abraxane is not as bad as I feared it would be and as it has worked well for me I would have it again.

All the best
