I am really struggling to finnish chemo i had a severe body rash on paclitaxol with my first treatment i am going again on Friday where they will tell me what they are planning on doing to counteract this . I am due to have 3 more pac and im seriously worried that i wont be able to complete this due to side effects . Has anyone else not been able to complete chemo? And are u ok now?
Hi Cazib10
It might be that you are suffering an allergic reaction to the suspension the chemo is in, rather than the chemo itself. There’s a different formulation of paclitaxel called NAB-Paclitaxel, which generally causes fewer reactions. It might be worth asking if this would be appropriate for you.
