Positive paclitaxol stories

Hi Caz1801, I am so sorry about your mum. She is so lucky to have you there to support her. I saw that you hadn’t had a response yet and I’m afraid that I can only give you a limited one on this but didn’t want to read this and not respond. I had my cancerous tumour removed prior to undergoing chemo so cannot comment on its effectiveness in this respect. I have been told that there is no scan etc. that they can give me to say that I am definitely 100% cancer free but I had EC, Docetaxel and then weekly Paclitaxol. I found the weekly Paclitaxol so much more tolerable than EC with far fewer side effects.  I felt a lot more ‘normal’ on it and that it was not quite so brutal as the other chemo drugs to the point that I could play with my young son again etc. It was a lot more gentle compared to the others.  I hope your mum finds the same and that it works for her. I have everything crossed for you. 
Warm hugs, Bekky xxx

How did the paclitaxol go?
