Sheila-
any reason they switched you to receive taxol instead of abraxane? I just had to switch chemos because of the addition of bone mets, and I'm taking abraxane now (3 on/ 1 off), and just had my second treatment, but my scalp doesn't feel tingly and I'm oddly hoping despite all of these prior posts that my hair won't fall out - it's likely one of the last treatments I can take and I really didn't want to have to end things with the baldness and wigs again... Well, keep us posted and we'll see what happens!
Regards,
