Hiya!
I am due to have my last lot of EC chemo in a couple of weeks and then I am switching to Paclitaxel for four sessions every other week.
I just wondered if anyone has had the same treatment plan and how they found the change?
I am a bit nervous about the what new side affects it will bring
thanks for reading x
I had 3 cycles of EC followed by 12 weeks of paclitaxel. I had very few side effects on EC and none at all on paclitaxel.
Thank you for responding.
I have been tired on EC, dry mouth and acid reflux- the latter being the most annoying.
keeping everything crossed that I don’t feel any worse than I am now.
so pleased that you had few side effects x
I felt tired for about half of the cycle on EC but then felt normal for the remaining time. It was the same each time, but I didn't have this with paclitaxel except for in the evening of the day I'd had treatment.
