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.

Hi. You might be able to have the dosage reduced by your team, which might help with your symptoms. One thing that might help is to keep your fingers moving by knitting or crocheting or any activity that makes you practice fine motor skills. Hope this can resolve positively for you. Best wishes.
