Hi Irene

I have been having this combo for 8 weeks now. I have had no issues with side effects; very, very slight nausea (no need for meds), a few hot flushes from the Taxol, blood noses, a bit tired & that's about it really.

I did have a problem with my haemoglobin & neutrophils for a couple of weeks, and had to stop treatment, but we are back on track now. I also found that my liver levels weren't dropping as quickly as I would have liked. I also have 3 spots on my liver. However, my onc said the Taxol could be causing the bad readings, and we would give it another 2 sessions. Anyway, all of a sudden it has kicked in, and they have dropped dramatically. I am so happy this week.

So, all in all, I am happy with the treatment so far.

Good luck with your treatment. Keep us informed.

Love Lisa
