Have you had Taxol for Adjuvant Breast Cancer Treatment?

Have you had Taxol for Adjuvant Breast Cancer Treatment?

Have you had Paclitaxel (Taxol) treatment?  How did you feel after each treatment compared to your Chemo treatments?  Any info would be of help.

Hi my Mom had taxol with carboplatin for ovarian cancer at 46.   I would say she did well compare to others.  Taxol is a toxic and a good chemotherapy drug.  Given as a single agent may not be as toxic though but very doable.  Good Luck to you.

I found Taxol to be a whole lot easier then the Adriamycin/Cytoxin "cocktails" I got prior to Taxol. I felt great after the Taxol and only had some aches and pains for about one to one and half days starting about the 4th day after Taxol.
I didn't get any tingling in my fingers. But had it in my toes and heels for a few days. I got my last Taxol October 31 2006 and the only lasting effect I have is my little toes tingle at night.
As some one who was there before me told me: "If you've made it so far (thru A/C chemo) the rest is just a walk in the park. "

HI BUNNY I HAVE TO AGREE IF YOU CAN TAKE THE A/C CHEMO  THE TAXOL IS  AWALK IN THE PARK, THE ONLY THING I S I STOPPED MY CHEMO IN OCT OF 06 AND I STILL HAVE THE NEUROPATHY IN THE FINGERS AND TOES, NOT VERY PLEASENT BUT, I'M PROUD THAT I PULLED THROUGH ALL THE CHEMO AND THIS IS JUST A LITTLE BUMP IN THE ROAD THAT I HAVE TO TAKE COMPARED TO ALL THE SURGERYS AND LOSING A BREAST. IF IT GOES AWAY GREAT!!! BUT IF NOT I WILL LIVE WITH IT ONE DAY AT A TIME.... GOOD LUCK , BUT THE TAXOL IS EASY...
