Hi, I had my first round of docetaxel yesterday and am feeling wiped and sicky already; is this normal?

I have already finished 3 rounds of FEC and despite the initial shock to the system after the first round, I found that I normally had a few days before any side effects started. Today I am exhausted, weak and nauseous. Also having hot flushes thanks to early menopause and not much sleep last night due to steriods; all in all not feeling great today.

I'm not sure if it's because it's a different drug and the body has been shocked again or if I'm just going to have a rough ride with this one. 

Thanks
