I am awaiting a plan for my second set of cancer treatment. I was diagnosed with peritoneal carsanomatosis in fall 2022. I had 8 rounds of pacitaxel and carbonating. HIPEC and a debulking and a hysterectomy. Cancer treatment went well. I did not get sick. It did leave me with extreme neuropathy. I am walking on my own now but hands and feet are numb. I am concerned that the next treatment will continue to irritate the neuropathy . I am hoping someone has had similar treatment and has gone on with the second plan. Thanks to all and staying positive does help. I am blessed with family and friends

Hi pat2628,
I had paclitaxel and carboplatin for my endometrial serous cell carcinoma--6 rounds 1st-line treatment. I had a bad reaction to the pac. during the 1st infusion, so I was given nab-paclitaxel thereafter. During the treatment I experienced severe neuropathy in feet especially; fingers were also affected but not as severe. I've just read that europathy is the side effect of paclitaxel, and that nab-paclitaxel causes worse neurpoathy than the plain paclitaxel. My neuropathy is still bothering me 5 months after my last treatment.
So, I would find out if you are receiving the nab version. If so, you might want to discuss this with your oncologist.
