3 x EC every 3 weeks, then 12 weekly Carboplatin and added in 3 x every 3 weeks of Pacilitaxel

I’m currently having Paclitaxel on my 4th of 9 and quite honestly I can’t tell I’ve had it apart from a flushed face the next day.  I know we are all different but I’ve found it fine and hope you have a similar experience.  Best wishes x

I had 3 EC then 9 paclitaxel. Paclitaxel was much easier to manage than the EC.

My regime lasted 19 weeks, it honestly flew by. I finished on the 9th Feb. 

Good luck. You can do this. 

thank you and best wishes back to you x

That's great news and all the best x

Hi

I finished my chemo last August and like you had 21 weeks in total of chemo, 3x 3 weekly EC then 12xweekly Paclitaxel. Like the others have said the weekly Paclitaxel was so much more easier. It did have it's own side effects. I did have bowel issues and I was advised to paint my nails are dark colour to help protect them. Also make sure you drink plenty of water. 

Take care

Hi Sandrad

I had 3 x EC then 9 x weekly Paclitaxel with Carboplatin added on weeks 1, 4 & 7. I found the Paclitaxel only weeks to be absolutely fine, but when Carboplatin was added I had a couple of tired days that week - usually 4 days later. It did cause me to have some discoloured nails though.

Best wishes to you x

Thanks for your comments, and hope all is well with you now

Hi, thank you for your advice.

I will keep an eye on my nails, and see how things go
