Nab Paclitaxel

Hi JanG20

I'm sorry to hear that you had a severe adverse allergic reaction last week and it's natural to want to know how others have got on with Nab-Paclitaxel. Although I can't answer that question if you type 'nab paclitaxel' into the search bar in the group you'll find plenty of previous posts on that subject which you could have a look through.

I've found this Macmillan information on nab-paclitaxel which tells you, amongst other things, how it's given and the possible side effects.

I hope everything goes well for you.

Hi! 
I had 2 severe reactions to docetaxel and then got swapped to nab  paclitaxel. Best reaction I’ve ever had  Because I found nab pac to be an absolute doddle! Bit tired on day 2 and it did add a little to my peripheral neuropathy but honestly I felt fine! Also don’t know about you but the GCSF injections made me sooo poorly, but with nab pac I didn’t have to have them! Not sure what your consultant told you, but mine said he had to apply for funding for it as it’s not funded on nhs! Nurses and my breastsurgeon said it’s expensive and good stuff, like the upgrade to doc/pac! Every cloud hey  xxx

DawnyB thanks, am hoping the change will be ok and I have no reaction or at least nothing like last week anyway. Yes I have to have the injections, my husband is going to do these, not sure when they start though.

I was very anxious about it after having the reactions, but it was fine. Forgot to say the infusion time was only 30 mins too! Hoping that you have the same experience as me. Wishing you lots of positivity xx

I just had a severe reaction to Paclitaxel myself this week and now being put on nab for my last two cycles. I’m so scared after my reaction this week; how did you get on with nab? 

• no problem with Abraxane (Nab Paclitaxel) and nos on EC and all good there too. Side effects hpreible but no ADR.
