Hello i hope you are all doing ok and treatment is going well.
I had almost finished my 12 paclitaxel but have missed last weeks chemo and will miss this weeks aswell due to having different tests and things out of my control. I am concerned that im missing a second weekly one, had anyone had any experiences of this and did the missed ones get added on for you? Im due to start ec chemo on the 6th August.

Hi MummyBear80
Although I can't answer your question I noticed that you hadn't had any replies yet. This is possibly because this is such an active group that your post has fallen off the first page before someone with the right experience has seen it. Replying to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list.
You could also post this question in the breast cancer chemo thread and, if you'd like to do this, clicking on the link I've created will take you straight there.

Hi there, I missed cycle 3 of 9 due to going into hospital with an infection but this being early on it just restarted and I finish the paclitaxel on Friday. Due to start EC 16th. I had some issues with nerve damage in hands and feet by 6/7 and the paclitaxel was reduced but I was told if this didn’t help I could stop this chemo and go straight on to EC so it could be that you could go straight on to your EC having had a good run so far with the paclitaxel.
Best of luck with your journey x
