Yes I had the dreaded Taxotere.I didn't have any cancer in my lymph nodes(2003 full node clearance) and my body/bone scans were clear(2010) so chemo was just to be sure.My b cancer was eostrogen+ve and hercept -ve so my oncologist said Tamoxifen would be of more benefit to me than chemo anyway.That's why I felt confident to stop the chemo. I live in Sydney and it's very humid at the moment but my hot flushes are tolerable with Endep. I can sympathize with you having a daughter about to do her HSC. My youngest daughter had to do hers with my first bout of breast cancer.My treatment was over by October so that helped.Ididn't have chemo the first time just radiation so was able to stay "myself"and that helped too.Anyway,she really focused during the hsc and got a fabulous result. Hopefully you'll be well and truly over the worst soon and can get back to being "normal"mum,(or close to it!)
