Had my first onc appt yesterday.

 

I'm going to be having Docetaxel and Carboplatin.  Anyone else on this regime?  Any tips, comments, advice - many thanks.

    Hello sorry didn't see this on the day you posted it.

    I had docetaxel but not the Carboplatin. Me posting will pop it back to the top so hopefully someone will see it and be able to help.

    All i can say about the Docetaxel was it made me feel really tired, so make sure you get rest, taste buds disappeared but they soon come back after treatment. Also be careful near anyone with any bugs or colds, docetaxel affected my blood count so my immune system wasn't great. 

    When do you have your first treatment?? 

    Take Care

    Hi

    Thanks for replying and the advice.  My first one is on Monday.  Looking forward to it in a strange way as it means I'm moving forward.
