Hello, I have finished 4 x EC and now moving onto 4 x paclitaxel every fortnight. i have heard that neuropathy is one of the side effects and wanted to ask if anyone could share their experiences of this? Is it painful and impact your daily routine? Do cold mitts and boots help to stop it, or are the side effects manageable? Many thanks 

  • Hi  

    I’d like to recommend that you also make your post in the Breast Cancer forum where I see you’ve posted before.

    This will increase the number of people who see your post, and might have the relevant experience to share as this is more a general forum for all types of chemotherapy.
