I have been having bleeding from my nose, (not dripping like a nose bleed), but my nasal passages bleed anytime I blow my nose. Is this common with Taxol?

This sounds concerning and definitely worth discussing with your healthcare team right away. Nasal bleeding can occur with some chemotherapy treatments, but it's important to have any new bleeding evaluated to determine the cause and get proper guidance. Your medical team can assess whether this is related to your treatment and provide recommendations to help manage it safely.

I had nosebleeds during taxol. For me, it happened around 4 times over about two cycles. It was not alarming to my oncologist because it wasn't a hemorrhage; so It must not be rare; just unnerving.
