With the Taxol you can get tingling in the hands or feet - if it gets to were you loose feeling for more than a few mins (like falling asleep feeling) than you need to let the doctor know so it doesn't cause permanent nerve damage.....sounds horrible but it's really just a typical side effect - I have the tingling now.

Also, it can cause nail toxcitiy so don't freak out if your nails start to turn dark and the nails release from the nail beds - you may loose them and they are sore during this time - but they do eventually grow back.

Keep that head up girlie and I'm here for you anytime you need to vent...... :-)
