Change of treatment plan and COVID booster

I had weekly paclitaxel for 12 weeks.  After 6 sessions they reduced the amount by 15% as I was concerned about the tingling in my hands and feet.  I had my last infusion in November 22 and still have a numbness in my feet.  I am glad they reduced the dosage as I wanted to get back to playing tennis. I am playing tennis and back to yoga and Pilates. I discussed both the Covid and flu vaccination with my oncologist.  We agreed Covid was a priority and I had it before I started the treatment.  I think asking the oncology team is the best way forward. I also had implants and had some seroma in one of my breasts. I reverted to wearing a good support bras that I had post surgery.

I hope that helps

Hi Ricki,

Thank you so much for replying. It's really helpful to hear your experience and I'm glad you're back to playing tennis. I'm also worried about peripheral neuropathy as I run and hike. Just one dose of Docetaxel and Carboplatin caused me severe pain. I'll definitely keep a close eye on it with the change in treatment. X

I too would say check with oncologist. When I was having chemo I had my invite for COVID booster bit my oncologist said not to have it. He cleared me to have it just before my radiotherapy about a month after I had finished chemo
