First Taxol treatment today

[Jhshl512]

Hi, I’ve been fighting mbc now for almost 12 years. I can’t even tell you how many treatments I’ve been on. So now it taxol for 12 weeks. Once a week and 4th week off. I’ve read most of the posts on here relating to taxol and I appreciate all the information. I guess I’m just looking for a 👍 from everyone. I always say “Just another mountain to climb!!” Anyway thanks for listening. I rely on everyone here. You are all a blessing❣️

The best

Lori

Good luck Lori. I found Paclitaxel/Taxol pretty manageable for 18 sessions. Unfortunately I then had progression but lots of people get much longer or do better x

[Jhshl512 in reply to LibraryGeek]

Thank you. Whatever you moved onto, you sound like you are doing well!

[Totheriver]

[Jhshl512 in reply to Totheriver]

Thank you Theresa. I also hope you are doing well🙏🏻💕

I have hit a bump too. My femour broke because of cancer eating away at it. I have to have a bit of radiation. I am walking really well with a walker or cane and even some on my own. Hopefully a smooth stretch now. We are all in this together 🙏💕

[Jhshl512 in reply to Totheriver]

Praying and wishing you the best. Keep up the good work!🙏🏻

[Totheriver in reply to Jhshl512]

Thanks and you too💕🙏

[Bettybuckets in reply to Totheriver]

I’m so happy to hear that you are walking better! It’s amazing what we can come back from! Yes let’s hope for a smooth stretch for you now

[Totheriver in reply to Bettybuckets]

Thank you💕. It is amazing what we can come back from. I will be having 5 radiation treatments soon.

It is so helpful to hear from those of you living well over the statistics we always read about. It gives me hope… so thank you.

I pray the next treatment option is tolerable and is also effective for a very long time. Sending you hugs and support from one MBC “sister” to another. 🩷🩵💚

[Jhshl512 in reply to Cazzandraus]

Thank you for that encouraging reply. Wishing you best as well!🙏🏻💕

Taxol worked really well for me, I had a scan after 6 treatments and tumors were all shrunk! Hope it goes smoothly for you!

[Jhshl512]

thank you

[Autum1]

I tolerated Taxol well. Had 12 weekly infusions, didn't lose my hair, it only thinned. Unfortunately it didn't work for me and I had progression, liver mets got much worse. Wishing you all the best and I hope it works well for you.

[Jhshl512 in reply to Autum1]

Thank you. I have bone Mets and lymph nodes. Hoping to do well. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[michelangelina]

You are an inspiration! I am at 6 years myself, and hope to reach 12 years (and beyond) one day. You will be in my prayers.

[Jhshl512 in reply to michelangelina]

Thank you! I also hope you make 12 years and beyond 🙏🏻

[Mumberly]

12 years!! That’s inspirational for the rest of us and bodes well for your body’s ability to fight this illness. All the best with your next treatment ♥️
