Has/is anyone having paclitaxel following EC?
I have had EC (was generally fine on it) and have just started paclitaxel and have had a severe reaction of peripheral neuropathy, there's nothing the team can do to alleviate the pain I'm in and Vicks isn't helping (the only thing that could apparently per doc).
I want to stop the paclitaxel treatment as am not prepared to have my quality of life impacted like so and also there's a risk that the damage, especially if i have more paclitaxel, could be permanent (it could be already). Plus my lumps responded well to EC so much so that now need a marker so the support team know where the lumps were. The team have already agreed to reduce the paclitaxel dose but I want more!
Hads anyone similar experience of swapping chemo drugs or changing/stopping treatment?
I have an appointment with oncologist next week to discuss my wishes and want to go into the meeting prepared so any information would be most appreciated.
Thanks
Sam
