Tips for Starting Taxol Treatment

Hi Kia I was on taxol had 7 rounds. I had to stop it due to neuropathy. Keep a close eye for numbness and tingling in hands and feet. Be sure to tell your doctor if you notice this so he can change med. Other than that I didn't have any problems with it .

Thanks so much Laurie. I will be sure to pay close attention.

I had 4 rounds of Taxol, the first round brought on neurophy and upper respiratory problems which lasted 2 weeks. The neuropathy still bothers me and I am working on it positively.

Thanks Agnes. I am having upper respiratory problems as well. But thought it maybe a lingering cold.

Use the cold packs on your hands and feet so the neuropathy won't get you!
