Hi Dian25
Yes. My side effects are mild nausea, fatigue, headaches, and losing taste sensation. The side effects diminish over three days.
The greater side effect is neuropathy. I still have foot neuropathy from the treatments three years ago. The Abraxane will make it worse. The recommendation is icing feet and hands during infusion and then keeping your feet up as much as possible for a couple days afterward while the Abraxane works out of your system.
Good luck.
