Office Job, with very little energy and found myself forgetting things (very understanding boss). Already had osteoarthritis in knees before treatment, so it made it worse. Nausea & bloating feeling the day of and day after treatment. Wiped out for 3 1/2 days. Feet and Toes numb, but medication for neuropothy counteracted my reflux medication, so stopped neurontin. Four months since last treatment, feet and toes still numb and have spells of feeling freezing cold. Energy slowing returning. All in all, if cancer doesn't come back, worth it.

I'm on my 8th treatment of Taxol, and it makes my bones ache to the point to where I have to go to Pain Management. My hair is falling out also. It keeps me down about four days out of the week. I take it via a port in my chest, I go once a week,and I only have four more treatments to go.

I just finished chemo treatment. I found this drug so difficult to tollerate. I have been off the chemo for a month and my hands and feet remain numb and burn. Also my legs hurt terrible. It was a bad experience. I do not see how anyone could take this and work. Good luck to all who take this drug.
