Yes, Taxol, is one of the most awful drug ever invented to cancer in my estimation. One the first treatment, with Benadryl all of the worse symtoms you can imagine were associated with it, unbeknownst to me. After the second treatment cycle, I thought I was losing my mind. I was aggitated and experienced several episodes of heart palpitations and anxiety. So given his reactions, I would be concerned if they didn't reduce the drug by 20% going forward.

I didn't get it the sixth round because the neuropathy wasn't getting better. Not having Taxol during my sixth mate world of difference. Advocate for yourself or loved ones of these drugs are causing you to have extreme reactions or causing you to lose hope. I could have died or killed someone after the second round. I never want to feel that way again. Paclitaxol should be banned for patients who are weak to begin with. The symptoms are just too severe and risky. As a result, my oncologist definitely monitored my heart, liver, kidneys, thyroid, and iron.

It's horrible based on my experience, even though it may have saved my life, it could have also caused death. It really needs to be evaluated for to the extreme side effective.

There might be or ought to be other drugs that are just as effective but not as severe.

Do mention symptoms to his (hopefully caring) oncologist and ask if they plan to do anything about the symptoms or reactions. I also pray that his treatment will be successful!! 🙏
