I finished Taxol in March and it was very hard for me. But I have no lingering side effects. I did have neuropathy in my fingers and toes. It disappeared right after I was finished with Taxol.
Herceptin was a breeze compared to chemo. I did experience pain in my hips and upper thighs near the end of Herceptin, a very drippy nose the entire year and very thin nails. My hair, eyebrows and eyelashes are still slow to grow. I finished Herceptin in Dec.
Good luck. Congrats on being finished with Taxol. Go girl!
