First Dose of Paclitaxel

Hi Lizb6, I had weekly Paclitaxel from the end of October until Christmas as well as carboplatin every 3 weeks. I did find I had hot flushes and a flushed face, I still get them now I am on FEC and I think it is due to the steroids given to take in the days immediately following treatment. Overall, I found paclitaxel okay and had minimal side effects, I did get some nose bleeds after the first few doses. If you are worried about your flushed face give your nurses a call, I've found they are very supportive and always have advice on things to do to help with the SE. Best wishes x

Thank you HollytheCat, that is really helpful.   That would also explain my temperature changes which have been a bit weird!!!!   Not really worried about it, but just trying to figure out all the stuff thats coming
