Hi there.
i had my first round of DOCATEXAL (had 3 cycles of AC previously.
had virtually very little side effects from the first 3
however, this new chemo, has hit me like a steam train.
i am today on day 8. (Day 5 of injections)
i have never felt so portly in my life.
the back/stomach pain, headache, nausea, loose bowels, chest pain
i am taking so many pain killers to try and curb these pains.
it started on Day 3 and it is now day8, with only showing a very slight sign of improvement.
has anybody else had these, and if so, any advice how to alleviate the pain, and ca I expect this every month.
please, any advice will help.
thank you
chris
Hi Christie
Welcome to the forum, I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions on this forum. I'm sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with breast cancer and that you are suffering side effects from your last bout of chemo. I suggest that you contact your chemo ward about the symptoms you are experiencing especially about the chest pain you are experiencing. While it probably isn't anything serious it's best to get it checked out. They should be able to suggest something to help with the pain and maybe prescribe some stronger anti-nausea medication.
Hope you feel better soon.
Best wishes
