I have finished my Nab Paclitaxel and am now moving to EC (Epirubicin & Cyclophosphomide) am wondwring if anyone else has been on this journey and whether they noticed any differences (side effects/ during treatment).
Hi janG20 I’m on treatment the other way round to you - EC and then paclitaxel, due to start shortly. May I ask how you found paclitaxel? Good luck with your journey xx
Hi Monalisa1869, I had Nab Paclitaxel and it has been okay but I would like to know what EC is like and what side effecta you have had.
I had a bad adverse reaction to Paclitaxel so had to change to Nab Paclitaxel, the worst side effects for me have been peipheral neuropathy, nausea, body pain others not worth metioning.
Hi janG20 I start EC on 14 may - I read the info given by the hospital and the tons of side effects have worried me. I know this isn’t going to be easy. Hoping for just 3 sessions of each - oncologist thinks this will be sufficient. Good luck xx
I’ve just finished EC and about to start Paclitaxel. Side effects for me have been minimal really; the steroids affected my stomach lining so that then caused some digestion issues; constipation etc. I’ve had no nausea; but plenty of meds for it just in case; my sleep hasn’t been affected. I’ve had ‘weak’ days within the first 7 days but then I start feeling ok again. The first treatment I had a really dry mouth; but that appears to have got better quickly. I suppose everyone is different; I have my fingers crossed for you that you experience is as good as mine has been. X
Thank you, I hope so too and best wishes to you for your Paclitaxel which was not gud for me having had severe adverse drug reaction which is why I was swapped to Nab Paclitaxel.
xx
