Taxol chemo
Hi needs some positivity. Have tried most hormone treatments but have failed. Now on chemo taxon. A lot of you are saying it fails. Have I got to go through all this again only to find it has failed too? Feel so down after reading all the remarks. Is there no hope. ??????

I’m starting off the new year on Tuesday with my fourth course of Chemo which will be weekly
Taxol
for probably 20 weeks. Can’t say I’m looking forward to it but trying to gather my strength and positivity.

This is me .Hello all.
Now on
Taxol
chemo. Side effects not good but worst is messing with my mind and befuddled. My oncologist said if I cannot stand it she will give me a week off. Has anyone else had good results from
Taxol
please? It is comforting to read about so many brave ladies. Happy to meet you all.

What are others doing who have MBC that has moved to your stomach and caused severe pain, stomach distension, constipation and nausea?
My visit yesterday, my dr would not do chemo bc I had not had a bowel movement for five days and spent the day before in ER. she wants to change to
Taxol
when I return. I’d like to hear others experience with
Taxol
. She said I would lose my hair and get neuropathy.

Newbie on the site - Breast Cancer IDC & HER2
I had the lumpectomy and node biopsy late January and had my first weekly chemo last week (
Taxol
weekly + Herceptin every 3 weeks). Is anyone else on the same treatment plan? I’m curious if you found that side effects worsened with each treatment?

Pleura effusion
In a week or so I’m due to start weekly
taxol
with bevacizumab every 2 weeks. Has anyone had a similar issue? Did the chemo slow down/stop the effusion ? What’s it like with a permanent drain? Has anyone had the talc procedure?

What is next after chemotherapy treatment
I am due to have my sixth chemotherapy infusion next week of Carboplatin and
Taxol
. When I spoke with my nurse she said that I wouldn’t be entitled to go on a par inhibitor after chemotherapy, however as I have the BRCA 1 gene I thought that I would.

No hope
After reading so many posts about
taxol
failing I am really depressed. I have been on so many treatments that have failed and now agreed to chemo as last resort. But now I read how this has failed so many. I realise this disease will never go away but I just wanted a little hope that it may work.

Could you give me some idea of what I will go through please?
Paclitaxel sometimes called
Taxol
. I am very old but as she said I am active so we can try this. I have heard so many frightening reports of chemo that I am living in fear of feeling so ill. Do any of you dear friends have any experience of this treatment please?

Treating recurrence with Doxil: Side Effects?
I am being started on chemo again this week, but this time it will be carboplatin with Doxil instead of
Taxol
. Can those of you who have had Doxil please give me some first-hand info as to what side effects you had from the drug?

Questions on Taxol
I was recently for six cycles on Gemzar (first IV chemo since original diagnosis in 1995) but, as the scan indicated, it did not work so the oncologist would like to switch me to
Taxol
. So, for those of you who have been on
Taxol
, here are some specific questions: 1. Did the bone pain improve?
