Docetaxel

I wouldn't put such a negative post up except for the fact I am just desperate, one week today since first dose of Docs and it has been shocking. Relentless constipation despite movicol and coloxyl and send, a horrendous rash around neck and top of shoulders that does even go away with Clarityne and a hydracortisol cream. So very weak. Has anyone else had symptoms similar. The FEC was a walk in the park in comparison.

  • Thanks Pam. Yes my onc said Diarhoea but definitely constipation. Bowel just generally feels yuck! So what do you find helps the rash. Driving me crazy:(

  • Hey AndiJ

    I put a comment in but it appears to be gone - so.  I  had AC first then dox/hercepton.  Don't know if its the same.  But Ac was not nice but when I had the dox/hercepton oh my god!!  My onc had said that I would prob get diarrhoea with this lot of drugs, oh no no no.  I had the cramps like I had the runs, but no release!!!  I attributed it to the terrible dryness I had - so for me pears, apples and lots of water.   Rash wasn't a prob at beginning, but is now, so don't know there. Do remember that the first dose was the worst.
