Hi I have recently moved from Paclitaxel to Abraxane and feel worse for sure. I can’t seem to stop the room from spinning and I feel shaky in my hands and just overall yukky. Anyone else on abraxane and experience smiliar? 

  • I had Paclitaxel last year and am having NAB-Paclitaxel (abraxane) now. I am finding the current chemo easier.

  • Thanks no clue what it’s making me feel so much worse than paxo. 

  • I think the improvement for me is that it doesn’t need steroid support. I hated the effect of steroids on my sleeping patterns, mood etc.
