    Hi everyone, I have just completed a 4 month course of Taxotere with supporting steroids, duing this time I have put on over 2 stones, my face is very puffy as are my hands and feet. Unfortunately, I have to stay on steroids for the forseeable future. Does anyone know how to reduce these side effects?

    Yesterday I was told that my breast cancer had spread to my liver. Surgery is not an option, so chemo is all that they can do! Unless some of you know otherwise?! Research is a bit conflicting about the prognosis, my GP wouldn't be drawn on it. So I don't know if I am dying or whether we can contain it!
