Hi everyone, had my first round of docetaxel last week ( fourth cycle of chemotherapy). I exhausted and keep falling asleep, I've also got this horrible taste in my mouth. Anyone else had this form of chemotherapy?? Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Hi there. Yes I had docetaxel as my 4th - 6th dose of chemo and did have that horrible 'metallic' taste that made everything I ate pretty unappetizing. I did ensure that after the first week I started to go out every day for a walk and that actually helped the tiredness funnily enough. I also tried to eat healthily and found that hearty soups with strong flavors were good. Well done, you are on the home stretch now.
