Hi everyone…
I am currently 6/12 sessions through weekly placitxel. Minimal side effects at the moment. I am cold capping with no hair loss as of yet.
Except … I have my treatments Thursdays and experience tingling in hands / feet on Saturdays/sundays.
Did anyone else experience this and did they stop treatment or reduce the dose?? I’ve been told they try to get to 9/12 at least but hope to do all 12 but starting dose dense EC.
Thanks for any advice xx
Hi there …i was the same …i got to week 9 then the last 3 i had at a 20% reduction …im 4 years post chemo and still have some peripheral neuropathy but doesnt impact on my life much …hope the last few weeks go quick for you
Hello!
Im on 9/12 weekly paclitaxel and have got neuropathy. I spoke with my oncologist about what i was feeling and they offered to reduce my dose but was also not that concerned about it as she pressure tested my toes/feet and i still had good pressure. She said that if the numbness continues down into my foot then I might need to stop it but she wanted me to continue on full dose for the next 3 treatments.
Speak with your team to see what they suggest 
Yes i had some perpheral neuropathy in fingers and toes and ball of foot, i had a reduced dose of Paclitaxol for the last 4 or 5 put of 12. I did find that acupuncture helped and stopped it getting any worse. However since i finished chemo nearly four weeks ago i think one foot is getting worse, curious! I’m hoping that over time things will get better. It doesn’t stop me doing anything, just a bit of a nuisance. However, i wouldn’t have wanted to risk having painful feet and numbness which would have had a severe affect on quality of life. I had already had good response from EC and first half of Pac. treatment so i was happy to accept reduced dose.
Thankyou all. 
Much appreciated. It’s useful to hear others have been through the same!
Yes have already mentioned to oncologist and have follow up appointment to discuss but glad I have some more info to help me advocate for myself Xx
