  • Hello Erts

    I’ve had docetaxel, which can be very aggressive on the body, all chemotherapy will some side effect, but once you finish the course and it’s out of your system things are not to bad. 
    Do not know what type your being put on, but remember always check your temperature any highs or lows you need to contact the hospital.

    I know it’s hard, you’ve been through it once, so you have an idea of what’s coming, but be positive, you have friends and family, plus us here, if you need to talk, I hope all goes well for you.

    Take care

    Joe
