Hi Kazza,
I am on the same regime as you. I have 2/6 rounds to go. my side effects have been mostly very tolerable. I did have a bad first round however, ended up in hospital with mucositis (sore mouth) and related infection. I have religiously sucked ice cubes now during taxotere infusion and havent had a problem. The hospital didnt offer me ice on the first round so you might want to enquire or take your own, but everyone is different it seems.
I hope your treatment goes as good as it can. dont hesitate to make contact if you have any questions or just want to vent.
