Hi there,

I am 45 and have just had my 4th EC. I had to get a picc line after my 3rd cycle due to cold cap, EC effects on my veins. I am about to start on 4 cycles of paclitaxel does anyone have an advice or does or dont’s? Would like to hear your experiences. Thank you

Good morning

I jave had both ec and pax, pax is a lot easier than ec the only side affect that was worse for pax was the taste left in your mouth so hard boiled sweets were a god send esp the chocolate lime ones for some reason

good luck

Thank you for that tip. Glad to hear pax was better. Did you have to have steroids in day 2-4 like EC. Bit worried that those 10 pre treatment steroids are going to send me hyper?

You still have to take steroids in the morning but I know it is less steroids than ec regime
