Working during weekly Paxlitaxel?

Hi Ladies,

I’m about to switch over to weekly Paxlitaxel a horrendous experience with Docetaxol. I’ve been trying to work where I can during treatment but I’m slightly worried about if this is going to be possible whilst having weekly treatment.
Do you feel rotten the whole time during weekly treatment? Or are there still good days!
& Has anybody been able to work during weekly Paxlitaxel?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Rebecca

While you’re waiting for replies on here, I wanted to let you know that we have two email volunteers who had weekly Paclitaxol. You’d be very welcome to email them to hear about their experiences:

Hopefully you’ll have some responses on here too.
