Sore Scalp
I started weekly taxol three weeks ago and I had my third treatment on Monday morning. My scalp has become sore so assume this means my hair will start to fall out soon. I was just wondering if there is anything I should do in the meantime?

Docetaxel (Taxotere) + Carbo
Hi, Is anyone else on this mix ? I am highly allergic to Taxol hence to the change to Docetaxel. I was just wondering about hair loss etc etc. I have my 2nd round of chemo tomorrow at Guys but the first time with this combo - anxious is an understatement !!!!!

How much contact do you have with your cardiologist/ep?
I'm wondering what the usual level of contact is with your heart specialist? The last time I went in to see a consultant I was prescribed Sotalol and given a follow up appointment for six months time - is this usual for the UK? I only ask because I was in Sweden last weekend and actually ended up at

Tablet change to Ambulatory Care Part 3
Had my third appointment today at Ambulatory Care Unit. Went to the the first floor and into the unit ward to see it full of ladies in beds? I asked where is the Ambulatory Care unit ? To be given the name of the ward and how to get there. Well it seemed an age before I got to the named ward to look

Sotalol side effects - do they pass?
I had been on Amiodorone for my persistent AF since last October and they worked wonderfully. My consultant took me off then two weeks ago though and I started Sotalol on Tuesday. 40mg twice a day. Anyway, I'm experiencing really bad side effects - in getting headaches, chest pain, upper back ache,

My GP has gone against the specialist!
Went to my GP's at stupid o'clock this morning. Had to wait for some time to see him but he does know my heart problems well. I explained how my previous visit to another GP took me off Statins because of the pain in my thighs? I had my Diltiazem doubled to 240 and since then my breathing has been

Are there any tips about this combination.I know the hands and feet can get sore so I will stock up on the udder cream. But what happens to the hair?

Flecainide
Saw a cardiologist yesterday and expressed my concern about being on Sotalol so he has stopped it and put me on flecainide. Said it's better for controlling AF and maintaining SR. My PAF has increased from 21% to 35% since last visit. My heart rate is 108 this morning. My pacemaker revealed max

Rash after chemo completed
I developed a red, itchy rash on my arms, hands and legs about 3 weeks after completing an 18 week regime of taxol and carboplatin. My skin is also very, very dry, which is unusual for me. Has anyone experienced a rash after the chemo treatments were completed?

I was diagnosed with AF in early 2010. The previous year I had experienced ' strange' symptoms - feeling shaky and assuming it was some version of hypoglycaemia. I would eat more as this seemed to stabilise my shaky feeling. I put on weight. GP tested me for the above or diabetes but normal results.

update on friend:
Sorry for taking so long to post and update. We went to see the lovely Dr Banerjee last week. It was such a relief so sit across from a positive doctor who was willing to discuss all the options in an open and transparent manner...makes me more angry with the doctor we have to put up with but don't get

Joint pain after chemo
I finished my Chemo 1/13/2015. Taxol and carbplatin. I have shoulder joint pain, pain in my feet when I first get up, joint pain in my hands, knees and tight ham strings. Once I get moving its pretty good. From what I'm reading it's normal. Well, Lets hope it goes away. If not, its just another reminder
