Hi there

My husband has just had his 1st Docetaxel chemo last week, his 1st line chemo (Capox) having failed after 6 rounds. He is really suffering with aches and pains and is experiencing really severe stomach cramps. Is this expected?

Thanks

  • Hi There, I am on round 3 of Docetaxel and I have experienced a lot of aches and pains, it seems to be a side affect of this treatment. I am on o low dose of  slow release morphine that seems to be helping with the pain. Another thing I have noticed is that I am getting a lot of  heartburn/reflux which again can be a side affect of Docetaxel. 

    Wishing you and Mark all the best xxx
