For those who have had dovetail, were you given anti sickness tablets/IV before hand? Just been told its not given and no sickness tablets to go home with....doesn't sound right to me!
I had 3 rounds of Docetaxel and the only tablets I was given was Dexamethasone to be taken the day before chemo the day of chemo and the day after chemo . I did not suffer any sickness or nausea with Docetaxel. Hope this helps as I know everyone is different .
the docetaxel doesn’t really make you sick which is a relief. I’ve had a nurse give me an anti sickness tablet once before putting the docetaxel in me but that’s it. I’ve been fine without them a d it’s so much easier than the EC in terms of the nausea anyway so fingers crossed you’ll be fine xx
Hi Del, I had 2 FEC and 4 Docetaxol and each time I was given metoclopramide. Ended up in hospital on a drip 3 times out of the 6 doses. My oncologist eventually told me to take the anti sickness tablets every day between sessions rather than just a week after each session.
