Hi, I've been on Capecitabine for 2½ years and had no problems at all. Now though my Oncologist wants to put me on Paclitaxel as my tumour markers have been increasing for quite a while even though the scans are stable.
Is anyone else on paclitaxel and how are you coping with it?
Hi Poppydoll and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm not on paclitaxel but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. I typed 'paclitaxel' into the group's search bar and found these previous posts which mention it. You could have a read through a few of them and reply to any of the posters if you think they can help you further.
It would be great if you could pop something about about your diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
