Hello, I have finished 4 x EC and now moving onto 4 x paclitaxel every fortnight. i have heard that neuropathy is one of the side effects and wanted to ask if anyone could share their experiences of this? Is it painful and impact your daily routine? Do cold mitts and boots help to stop it, or are the side effects manageable? Many thanks 

  • Hi  I had paclitaxel after EC and didn't get neuropathy, so it's not a given that you will. I didn't do anything to help stop it either.
