One of the new side effects I've experienced with Taxol is hot/cold flashes. They can occur at anytime and anywhere. In the middle of the night a hot flash will wake me up and I'm peeling off sheets. After only a couple minutes I'm freezing and I'm pulling the covers back up. Sometimes the hot flashes last longer and I'm peeling off layers. I did not experience this on AC chemo.
Another new side effect I've noticed is I'm losing my eyebrows. I thought the hair loss was done! Wonder if they'll ever grow back. Looks funny too, they're patchy, kinda like a 4 year old tried to draw them on haha.
While these side effects are annoying I'm still feeling much better than on AC chemo. I meet with the radiation doctors Monday to determine the next phase of the treatment plan. Can't wait to put this cancer chapter behind me!
