Patient discussion about Taxol

Q. How you guys have coped with the side effect of taxol. I was given Taxol after a long and heavy round of chemotherapy and was told that it will be an easy and safe drug when compared to the drugs that I have taken before …but I had severe allergic reactions for some months I think it may be a year with one being very serious that required antihistamines, with having oxygen and caused such pain in my back that I understood the highest level of discomfort. I don’t know how you guys have coped with the side effect of taxol ….I have experienced the worst possible pain in my life which cannot even come with the surgery…..but one thing I found that I was cured at least for god`s sake..A. chemotherapy sux...i myself didn't have to go through that, but had to see someone very dear to me go through that. she went through very difficult time but survived and thank god it has been at least 2 years since and she is fine. it was frustrating to sit there not being able to do anything about it. but you should know-
it's temporary, and god's will - you'll come out of it triumphant!

Q. After Taxol/Carbo, then Alimta, treatments stopped because tumors no longer shrinking. Anything else to try? I was diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer about 6 months ago. Because of the weaknessof my lungs due to advanced COPD, the Oncologist ruled out surgery & radiation soChemo was the only alternative. I am now under Hospice care.A. this is a question that the oncologist should answer...there are a lot of chemo treatments out there- but not always firring to the type of lung caner. but i'm sure he would suggest them...
look- there's some treatments in clinical trials. check them out maybe there'll be something for you. look under the topic "research":
