Hi Joanne
I too am having the same treatment as you and have just had my second last Docetaxel at GCUH under Dr San. She is very good and I see you have already met Kate. Kate has been a huge support to me as I have had some set backs but I am now back on track with port in place and travelling ok. Today is my 5th day post treatment and I am very fatigued and have some back pain but knowing that it is the white cells being produced makes it less problematic.
I too live only about 10 mins from the hospital which is really good. You will find the nursing staff in the day unit really supportive and caring and I am sure you will be surprised at what a non event the treatment day really is. Good advice has been provided in previous posts regarding possible side effects and remember it is only a few days out of the three weeks where you will possibly feel very low. You can do this and I look forward to hearing more on your progress.
All the very best and big hugs.
