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?

It will settle back down again now your finished, I finished 6 taxotere last august and still have some side effects in my hands and feet, but the steroids "moon face" and puffiness is completely gone,

Good luck

I had 3 x tax but still cant shift the weight but not sure if thats due to the Tamoxifen aswell which i am on for a few years. Went out yesterday and had to get some new clothes as i have to face the fact that my beautiful clothes may not fit me for a long time.

Take care Love Kaz x
