Last night was horrendous 
my feet, ankles & knees all hurt. My fingers and toes tingled then later it felt like my toenails were being pulled out, and my left hip hurt and during the night I was woken with the feeling of a knife cutting my left thigh open. I didn't know what to do. I can't understand why after the EC and Filgrastim giving no problems it's so bad with the Paclitaxel.
I phoned chemo nurses today for advice and I have been advised to try and take paracetamol regularly throughout today, and tonight to try the codeine and some Naproxen that I have been prescribed by my GP for back problems. I have been told to be watchful for bleeding etc and to call I get any problems. I always check with the chemo nurses before taking any medicines as I know things can cause problems. I'm hoping this works for me. I have been told that I should mention everything to oncologist next week as there maybe something else that can be tried for my final 2 chemo sessions.
Fingers crossed this all works. Remember to always check with chemo nurses before taking any medication.
