Hi - All the BEST!
Regarding your question of 2 kinds of Taxol. My billing sheets call the "taxol" I took "Paclitaxel" which may be the generic or other formulation. I believe it is still made from the Yew tree.
I had 27 (that's right - twenty-seven)doses along with Navelbine and Herceptin. Cost for the Taxol alone totaled $21,146.95. It was administered weekly from Jan to beginning July of 2002.
I went "manniken" as all my hair everywhere, except some on my lower legs went.
No nausea, just some mouth sores and minimal neuropathy. Still have a little tingling in ends of fingers mostly right hand and balls of feet, but not painful.
I took Neurontin and Naproxan to alleviate the joint aches and pains. Lost some general coordination such as balance and having to be careful going down stairs, getting in and out of shower. Noticed my vision get a little worse during all the treatments, but that has come back to where my old prescription is just fine.
