Hi everyone . Next week Im about to start the second stage of Paclitaxol following 10 weeks of the FEC chemo. For some reason I had every side effect on the list from neutropenia , 2 admissions to hospital , nausea , relentless diarrhoea , pains in joints , legs etc, mouth ulcers,back ache , loss of appetite and despite the use of the difficult cold cap , about 3/4 of my hair! Having said that I feel great today, and it’s a wonderful relief . It’s day 13 of the 21 day cycle . No signs or nasty symptoms So I know however bad , there’s a good chance it will get better ! With a gorgeous new baby grandchild nearby and her two siblings 2/4 yr olds , parents moving house there’s lots to do to help them and forget about myself but I’m concerned about the possible side effects of weekly Tax? Any different suggestions as to how to manage ?
Thanks so much if you have time to write .
Xx Denise ps this is baby Rowena ! My 10th grandchild
