toxins

Hi,

 

I know your cancer is a rare one also.  My experience was with the drug Taxotere and not Taxol.    I was only able to get thru one dose of the taxotere because the side effects were horrendous on me.  I could not walk for almost two months and the skin on my hands and feet were literally coming off and I also had severe purple welts on my hands and chest.  To clear up the chest rash I was prescribed  erythromycin cream - and for the rest of the skin problems I was given a creme called  betasone.   But that was in January of this year,  and I still have some symptons like my fingernails are still coming off.

Apparently Taxotere ( which is a form of Taxol )  affects the nerves in the body.   I think that my be what you are experiencing.

I think you should mention it to your doctor and also go to

www.google.com     and type in     taxol side effects

 

From what I understand -  the drug just has to run it's course thru your body but -  I think it's important to make the doctor's aware of your reactions.

 

Hope this info helps and thanks for letting me know what specific type of breast cancer you have.

 

Glad you are cancer free !
