Hi Ladies
I am also having issues after 2 of 3 Docetaxel chemos with my arm pit area. I had 8 nodes removed and have been getting lymphatic massage since op to reduce fluid under arm. This was going well until the last few days. I have had an increase in the fluid and am also experiencing more nerve pain under arm and in mastectomy area. It is effecting my ability to sleep on my side again.
With one more chemo to go, I will be checking what the oncologist has to say about this. I know that the side effects of Docetaxel can include nerve pain and fluid retention. I will let you know what I find out from the oncologist when I see her on the 19th Sept. I am hoping that these effects will be temporary or that there is some medication to reduce the effects. With radiation to start after Chemo I do not want lymphadema issues.
