Paxitaxcel versus EC

Hi Boney M 

I was diagnosed with grade 3 stage 1 TNBC in April 2022 and, like you, had EC followed by paclitaxel. Although my side effects while on EC were minimal, I didn't get any side effects on paclitaxel. I hope you'll be the same.

Thank you for responding. That is reassuring to know.

Hi Boney

I'm the other way round having EC after Paclitaxel.  I had my first session of Paclitaxel yesterday and I've been fine, a bit of nausea in the night but no other side effects so far. (

good luck with it.

I have found the paclitaxel surprisingly good with minimal side effects.

I had EC, then Paclitaxel afterwards.  Unfortunately I was one of the unlucky ones that had an allergic reaction to the Paclitaxel.

First infusion went OK and the only side effect was some bone pain.  The second infusion I reacted in minutes and the re-try even quicker.

Like everything else,  everyone is different.

I think that’s the point…..everyone is different with different reactions.

Thank you 

Thank you. I have been told about the allergic reactions. Thank you for responding 

On the positive side,  the successful infusion I had I found the tiredness wasn't there with Pac, like I had with EC.

Hi Boney M 

I did not enjoy EC at all, especially the sickness/nausea.  In comparison I found paclitaxel a delight.  I remember waking up the morning after my first session and realising I felt…. completely normal.  Fingers crossed it’s the same for you x
