Docetaxel - Experience’s

Hi Morton,  I was able to go in with my hubby the first time, not for the actual I,  for the information and to go through everything I need to look for as well, 2 heads are better than one, if your wife/partner is able then is a great help, I went with him for all rounds and blood tests just for support even though I couldn’t go in with him.

This may help, my husband used to have a ginger drink before chemo and he ate plenty of the ginger biscuits provided

Hi Morton

Unless something goes wrong, then they will give all ten, funny I remember my last one, the pack became cloudy then stopped just over half way through, I had nurses look at it, then the people who supple it were on site and looked at it as well. They scratched their heads too.

Stay safe

Hi Ulls 

I am new here. Thank you for such positive energy. My husband (58) is after second ChT with Docetaxel. and has a lot of pain in back, chest, neck, on the fird day after ChT. He is tired, and feel a bit little dizzy. After painkiller Codeine in not too bad. He has every three month as well injection Zoladex. PSA from 29  foll to 2.3. Like you wrote it is worth. I have to be strong for him too. I wish all of you to be patient, keep going and success will be with you. 

Thank you to be here 

Hi Amber84

Chemo has that effect on different people, once you get through it, things get better. Will he have radiotherapy? What stage is he ? I have wrote many many times on here, how wives and partners are the backbone we need, my wife bleeps her is my carer, the worlds worst worrier, even with all my antics keeping her smiling ( I’m the original big kid ) make sure you keep checking his temperature very important and I hope he and you get through this, the latter sessions get a bit easier as you know what to expect.

Stay safe

Joe

Hi Amber84, sorry to read about your husband, funny thing is that you ladies have us guys and the cancer to deal with and I think you're a wonderful group of people, I don't think we would cope without you.

Now just for info if you touch the icon beside our name, in my case a flower pot man and little flower, you can read our journeys. All the best Ulls 

Thank you JNC, that is really helpful as we didn’t know how much my wife could be involved so knowing this helps a lot 

Thanks again

Yikes! That sounds interesting for sure.  Hope you are doing well

Thank you Amber, this is a very positive message, strength is important I think. Hope your husband is doing well

Just read my message back, made no sense, it was meant to say IV .  

The nurses are great, they really look after you, you are in good hands 

best wishes
