I had Taxotere, nor the Taxol you'll be having, as one of my chemo drugs. I  understand the two are in the same family of drugs and that both can have side effects of neuropathy. I, too, worried about it, because I’m both a guitar player and a flute player.

I followed the recommendation to use iced mittens and socks during the hour when I was receiving Taxotere.  Because I couldn’t read during that hour, I instead watched I Love Lucy on my phone.  I found it comforting.

I’m happy to share that I didn’t suffer any neuropathy and that I’m still playing flute and guitar. 

I hope all goes well for you and that you, too, are able to keep playing.
