Docetaxel

Hi, I was pretty lucky and managed quite well through 6 cycles of chemo.  I wrote a blog about my experience and you might find it useful.  Good luck

I had 4 rounds of chemo with Docetaxel & Cyclopheramide.

There are lots of possible side-effects with Docetaxel, but every person has different experiences - no side-effects, some side-effects or lots of side-effects.

Your oncologist will talk to you about the possible side-effects. Depending on how your first treatment affects you, the dosage can be adjusted if necessary.

Stay safe & take great care of yourself.

Hi just wondered how you got on.  I’ve completed four rounds of FEC and due to start docetaxel a week tomorrow. Hope your doing ok 

Hi I only managed one lot of docetaxol as I ended up in hospital again with an infection so they said it was too risky having anymore.

They we’re happy that I had had enough chemo so then had my radiotherapy. I did struggle with it especially the pain I got strong painkillers off the doctor.
