I have been on weekly Taxol for almost 2 months. I have the usual potential for constipation if I don't take a stool softner. Hair is thinning but not enough for a wig. I have notable fatigue days 2 and 3 but do okay if I am careful about how I "spend" my energy. All in all, it has not been too difficult. I hope it works well for you. Please let me know how it goes, if you end up on it. Take care.

Hi, I was on weekly taxol for 35 weeks. Please keep in mind that we all react differently to each type of chemo treatment. The weekly steriods given to me with the taxol really bulked me up. I took alot senna and colace during this period .Found myself taking daily catnaps as well. Hope this is of help, Withe
