Hi I’ve had 10 months of paclitaxel. I was fine at first. Had diarrhoea since about month 8. And really wish my consultant had stopped it then as had stable scan then. ( Not been scanned since which annoying as that November). But since I stopped chemo 3 weeks ago diarrhoea really constant, been sick and losing hair again! Anyone know how long these side effects can keep going after chemotherapy ends? I’m starting to think more than side effects 

  • Hi  sorry to hear you are still struggling post chemo.  I don't know much about chemo as I didn't need it but I do know that we all react differently and take different amounts of time to heal and recover. Some people have few side effects and others have a lot more or they last longer.

    I would discuss this with your doctor who will hopefully be able to put your mind at rest.
