Hi Sandy: I was on Taxol/Herceptin and suffered with significant joint pain. I know it doesn't sound like much but a couple of Ibuprofin really helped out. I started experiencing numbness in my fingers and feet from the first treatment. It got to where I had some difficulty doing the buttons on my clothes but I just compensated for things. I held things carefully so I wouldn't drop them and moved a little slower than usual.
I had 4 treatments ending in Dec. of 2002 and just recently my feet are back to normal. The feeling in my hands came back faster than my feet...they only took about 5 months to be back to normal. I had lost my hair doing the A/C portion of my treatment before the Taxol so I can't say for sure about hair growth. I certainly didn't start to grow any hair during my Taxol treatment. My hair is about 6 inches long, now. That took about a year to grow. Hope everything goes well for you. Keep us all updated. Take Care, Linda
