I started this treatment yesterday which I’m due to have weekly for 16 weeks. Unfortunately it didn’t start well as after about 5 mins they had to stop the treatment due to severe back pain and generally feeling unwell. It was due to last an hour but they have decided to slow it down next week so it takes 2 hours. Has anybody else experienced this

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community and, although I haven't had docetaxel I  wanted to pop on to suggest that you also post this is the head and neck cancer group, which I can see you've joined. That way you'll connect directly with people who have the same type of cancer as you and who are likely to also have had the same type of treatment.

    Wishing you all the best with your treatment
