Hi all as anyone had Pacitaxol chemo i am triple neg with spread to lungs just been to hos they wanna try me on it just wondered how the side e were many thanks
Hi Laura I will also be getting Pacitaxol later in my treatment ( having 4xFEC first) but this is because I am alergic to Docetaxol. I am ER+ and don’t have any mets, just had 6 nodes affected hence needing tax. Not much help as I don’t have any experience of it yet but my oncologist says that it is widely used in the USA. Hope all goes well for you - I will be watching this thread with interest to see if anyone has any experience to share!

Hi laura
Just wanted to say I’m on Taxol as well but with avastin. I was only diagnosed last month with BC plus secondaries and TN so its all very new to me. I’ve only had one week of taxol, my second today. Week one I had aches and pains in my legs but other than that I’ve felt fine. I’m guessing things will get harder!
Sorry I can’t be any more help - but good luck with your decision

Hi Linda
Just wanted to say I had a year on Avastin when I was first dx with bone mets - also Tax - and it worked very well for me. I have had no progression and significant healing of my mets. So I hope it does as good a job for you.
