Welcome!
Hi Melanie,
Welcome! We are all here to support each other, just let us know how we can help you. I know for me that I have learned more on this site than anywhere else and I have often been ahead of my docs and bringing them info from here. Luckily I have a great team who appreciates the extra set of eyes doing research and they are always willing to listen.
When you move on to the Taxol, you might want to research taking Glutamine daily to prevent neuropathy. I took it religiously and did not have any long term problems.
Hugs,
Patricia
