Hello,

Happy Sunday! I am on my firsr round of Docetaxel - Day 5. Not been too bad so far - just fatigue, sore mouth, some indigestion. Last night had a good tea and felt fine. Woke up in the night and had the most appalling sensation of being sick (nothing like that so far) which did eventually pass. Does that sound normal on this grim pathway? Scared of going to bed tonight in case it happens again

Hi K.Dragon,

You sound like you are doing really well, apart from from feeling sick obviously!!

I finished Docetaxel about 5 months ago and i would say the main side effect i had was nausea and the same as you in the first round would wake up in the night feeling sick, but then for the rounds after I religiously took the anti-nausea tablets think it was Domperidone and that really helped. The nurses told me to be one step ahead and not wait until I started to feel sick just take them for days 3-8 ( I think were my worst days). But that does sound normal.

Good luck, it'll all be behind you before you know it.
