Hi Everyone
I was diagnosed last July & completed my chemo at the end of November (3 cycles of EC & then 9 cycles of Paclitaxel & Carboplatin) and since finishing this I have suffered terrible with joint pain (fingers, hips, knees & toes), and my oncologist has advised I have wide spread arthralgia. After doing some research, it looks like I have chronic rather than acute and this could last for quite awhile & even be a lifetime condition.
Has anyone else been advised of this (it’s apparently it’s a known side of Paclitaxel)?
Thanks Hayley
