I asked to go on abraxane where I had been on taxol. Because I was already experincing neuropathy in my hands and feet he said, "no way." Abraxane is worse then Taxol for neuropathy. He said it would decrease my quality of life so much more. We are looking for something else to replace the Taxol now. My oncologist said he could literally kill my hands and feet with the neuropathy to the point where I would not be able to feed myself. Sure is scarely. I am sure you don't have to worry about it for a while unless you are noticing lots of pain, burning and numbness. Make sure you tell your doctor this. Good luck, hugs, Sandy
