Re: Taxol Doesn't Treat Common Breast Cancer

Quote:
Taxol is an extremely potent drug, often producing a number of side effects in patients. Side effects can include severe allergic reactions, cardiovascular problems, infections developing from white blood cell deficiencies, apolecia, joint and muscle pain, irritation at the drugs injection site, low red blood cell count, mouth or lip sore, and numbness or burning in the hands and feet.
Let's add to that the disturbing SE that a percentage of patients who lose their hair on this drug will not have it grow back, making it disfiguring, as well.
