Hi, had my first Taxol on Wednesday with fusion od zoledronic acid. First night fine but last night I got no sleep due to the pain in my legs. Took paracetamol as advised by chemo unit but it's not touched the pain. It's now 12:30am and so so tired but again can't sleep because of the pain. Any advice. Got telephone consultation with my oncologist next week and I will tell him.
Need some sleep
Hi, thanks for your reply. Got sleep last night and the pain has eased greatly. I have a telephone consultation with my oncologist next week so I shall mention this. No hotness on my legs and no red patches. My partner has had three DVT's so he knows the signs. He on warfarin for life now. Onwards and upwards
