Call the doctor. Taxol made me very weak but it's been so long since I was in treatment I don't remember shortness of breath. Chemo drugs and radiation affect people differently so what Carol is experiencing may be a side effect that only a few people experience. Don't be afraid to call your doctor with any questions. When you don't understand something, ask.
