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

  • Hi  

    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.
