Docetaxel - Experience’s

Hi All, the first treatment went according to plan, had the iv put in and had piriton, hydrocortisone and something for sickness via IV first then the Docetaxel.  Slight BP issue nearly caused a delay but managed to get it under control with breathing.  No initial reaction to the chemo which was great and the infusion ran to plan, about 90 minutes or so.  In and out in about 4 hours.  Staff were great. No adverse effects yet but obviously very early days.  I will keep things up to date here.

Morton 68 that is brilliant. 
my hubbys bone scan showed his bone mets have increased along with his pain bless him

we are still waiting to hear which Dr is correct and which protocol hubby will go through

One suggested he add a luteneising hormone to his 3monthly hormone injection but another said he would need chemo but if he wanted the luteneising hormone then he could have that for 3 months

Reading everyone’s chemo journey it seems that may be they way forward to help with his pain 

Good luck with the rest of your chemotherapy and let’s us know how you get on

Hi Morton, pleased to hear it all went well. I hope you have had a good night and hope all goes as well with the next cycles.

Thank you mistymoon sorry to hear about your husbands Bone mets, the bone pain I have is the worst thing of all now.  I am hoping the Chemo will reduce the bone pain along with good pain relief. Thank you I will keep things up to date here and hopefully it will help people at different stages of the journey.

Thank you worriedwife I had a wonderful nights sleep, So many sedating meds so it would have been a worry if not.  Just going one day at a time and monitoring  my body and seeing what’s a side effect and what might just be anxiety etc.  Thank you for your good wishes.
