Well I am one week out since my first round of Taxol. I thought it was going to be a breeze because I had zero nausea and not one side effect like I had on AC. Then...I woke up on Thursday! OMG...talk about some serious pain! I had nerve pain in my pelvis, lower back, hips , thighs...all the way down to my toes. Walking was difficult...and getting comfortable was next to impossible. The worst part was I was at the lake on an adults only trip and I did not have pain meds with me. Friday was just as bad, but began to ease up Friday night. Saturday was much better. Then I took a turn for the worse on Sunday and ended up with a fever and was bed stricken all day. I literally could not walk without holding on to something. Yesterday and today have been much better, but I still have numbness in my hands and feet. I am very scared to have my next round in a week. Hopefully after I tell my doctor about my experience there will be something he can do to help me so I don't have that again. My mom asked me which experience was worse...the first chemo type (AC) or Taxol...I don't have an answer. AC made me feel sick, but the Taxol is painful!
On the bright side...I had a blast with Haneys, Ayers, Mezcars, and my brother and sister in law!!! Good times! I absolutely love Lake Cumberland!!
