Docetaxel

Hello 

First can i welcome you to the breast cancer group, although i am very sorry you find yourself here, were a friendly bunch so ask questions, rant, shout and even have a laugh.

I didn't feel as poorly with docetaxel but it hammered my immune system and i was admitted into hospital with an infection, doesn't mean you will everyones different. I didn't feel sick at all with it but my taste buds gave in and nothing tasted right.

But mostly i would say keep an eye on your temperature, keep away from poorly people and if anyone even has a sniffle don't let them visit. Keep hand sanitizer handy and ask people to use it. Also i did feel more tired but not sure if that was the docetaxel or because i had been having treatment for a while.

Look at it as you're half way there and every one you have takes you closer to the end of it all.

Good Luck xx

Sorry you've had a rough time on EC 

Sure someone will be along shortly who can advise you on Docetaxel . my original plan was for EC and Docetaxel but as soon as Onco found out I had a IBD ( bowel probs) she changed plan removing Doc. I presume it can cause tummy issues . But everyone is different and you could be better than when onEC . 

Might be morning before you get answer but take time to check out other threads you may find a earlier discussion . Also the Awake thread is there most of the night if you can't sleep .

Take a look at September chemo thread 

Take care
