Hi
Have now had three FEC 100 and due in three weeks to start three cycles of docetaxel. Has anyone had this chemo and what type of side effects did you have? I know everyone is different and I've been quite well with the FEC about two days feeling rubbish followed by 2 weeks of feeling well. Just a bit anxious now about this next lot of chemo, as its the unknown that worries me.
Any advice would be most welcome…
Fingers, toes etc etc crossed for tomorrow see onc hopefully blood count fine so can go ahead and have my final FEC100 on Friday. Am going to ask about Docetaxel cause that follows next, feeling anxious cause back to square one with not knowing how its going to affect me!
Feeling well, strong and positive, bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
