A member asked:

What long time side effect can carbo and taxo chemo give you?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Carlos Encarnacion answered

Specializes in Medical Oncology

Varies: Most people recover nicely of carbo/taxol side effects but long term neuropathy (numbness) can happen. Rarely, kidney damage or marrow damage with persistent low blood counts can be seen. Also, some patients have long term fatigue which can be quite hard to assign to a specific cause and treat. Best to you.
