@anim4l I think the weekly frequency means rest days are extra important, as you don’t really have days when you’re feeling totally normal or well - some side effects are at later end of week - and then you’re back in again for the next dose!
My rationale for resting for first 3 days is that the taxol is still in body and my liver and kidneys are working really hard to clear it. Plus, resting means taxol carrying blood is not pumped as thoroughly to my extremities during those 3 days.
I focus on fluids and protein for first 3 days - I eat whatever I fancy - our bodies are wise, so I trust any cravings. Have been going mad for cherries, rice puddings and oaty foods! Have gone off coffee.
Most of my cravings align with recommendations re diet on this website (not my only info source, but seems mostly reasonable) Foods To Eat And Avoid During Paclitaxel Chemotherapy | Food for Breast Cancer
