Re: question

I haven't had Taxol so I won't answer that question. You are at a low point in the long duration of treatment. That is when it seems like it takes forever to get through it.

I did have issues with frozen shoulder that were difficult because I was self-employed and my workload kept me stuck so much of the time in one position at the computer that I didn't get much opportunity to loosen it up, but over time with PT it improved. Hopefully slowly working at it with PT will do the same for you. Mine still is weaker than the other one, but it is much better.

It is hard to get to the other side of it all.
