Good morning all
I have completed my 3 rounds of FEC and will get my first Docetaxel on Thursday. I feel really apprehensive and scared because of what I have read about it online. FEC was not great (no chemo is) as I was so nauseous and vomited each of my 3 rounds. Fatigue was also quite bad at day 4 and 5.
I would love to hear more positive stories about docetaxel and how others coped with it. I know about all the horrible side effects so more upbeat news would be great if anyone had any!
At the end of the day I will get through it and I know I will but it is so daunting...
Thank you
Wendy
