I feel pretty normal after my first paclitaxel which is great. I have had a few side effects though - on day 2 the tips of my fingers & toes were quite painful (only in the evening) - felt as though I had caught them in a door! I dunked them in ice & that seemed to resolve it and I haven’t experienced this since.
I have also had some random back & bone aches which come & go. I took soon co-codomol last night to make sure I could sleep. The hospital supplied this & pre-warned me about these aches & pains so st least I was prepared.
Overall it is a lot easier than EC which st the time I thought wasn’t too bad! I am really hoping it stays like this! I have 3 more treatments so fingers & toes crossed for a relatively easy ride to the finish line! I can finally see light at the end of this looong tunnel!!
