Has anyone had this drug for stomach cancer?
My partner has been offered it for a short period weekly until a clinical trial starts. Just wondering if anyone has had a good response to the drug?
Hi EOXS
I don't have any experience with paclitaxel but I noticed that you hadn't had any replies to your post yet.
I've searched the group for previous posts on this subject and found these which you might like to have a look through. Most of them are quite old but I noticed that SDH is the most recent poster who mentions paclitaxel so I've tagged them in the hope that they are still a member of the online community and can pop on and tell you about their experience.
I hope your partner has a good response.

Hey there, really glad to hear your partner's been accepted for a clinical trial - which one will he be on?
Paclitaxel is standard second line treatment for advanced gastric. Some people respond well to it.
