I started taking Taxol after surgery for stage 1B uterine cancer. I take Taxol every 3 weeks. 2 treatments in Oct. 1 in Nov. 2 in Dec. and my last treatment is Jan 21 which would be a total of 6 treatments. My last treatment in Dec. was lowered because of neuropathy in hand and feet. Was told may not need to take last dose because of bad neuropathy. Is that good for me? Don t want the cancer to reoccur because I didn t take the last dose.
Hi, Thanks for the query. Neuropathy is one of the common side effect of Paclitaxel Or taxon. If dose exceeds >175 mg/m2 chances of neuropathy increases, needing dose reduction. This may compromise the treatment plan.
