Hi, I have my last of 4 EC treatments next week to be followed by 12 weekly paclitaxel treatments. So can’t wait to be done with the dreaded EC
Please somebody tell me it gets easier on the paclitaxel, really hoping I’m not so tired and the horrible taste in my mouth, where I can’t enjoy any food goes away?
Thanks x
Hi Sogotthis
I had 3 EC infusions followed by 12 weekly paclitaxel. I didn't have any side effects while on paclitaxel and my hair, which I'd lost during EC, began to grow back. Like you, I'd suffered with food tasting horrible while having EC but that didn't happen to me on paclitaxel.
Wishing you all the best
That’s great news, fingers crossed then and thanks for taking the time to reply x
