Taxol

Does Taxol have the potential to cause long term damage to any of the body systems?  If so, what are these damages, and how long after treatment do these damages manifest?

Dear clittlen2:  We would like to refer you to a website www.chemocare.com where you can look up the side effects to taxol specifically.  Yes, every drug has potential side effects both short term and long term (sometimes permanent).  In order to get the most accurate and pertinent estimation of what may happen, you should discuss this with your doctor.
