  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Backhereagain although I'm sorry you were struggling to sleep when you made this post.

    I hope you've managed to get some rest and your sleep has improved but if you're still finding it difficult do let your medical team know as they may be able to help.

    Do make sure you ask them about taking tumeric alongside your chemo as well as it may interfere with your treatment and cause potential side effects.

    You can find out more about taxol just here but if you have any other questions playing on your mind or would just like to talk things through with someone then do give our team of cancer nurses a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Wishing you all the best with the rest of your treatment Backhereagain.

    Kind regards,
