  • Hi Rosanna,Well I had 4 rounds of Docetaxel.A lot of people have joint pain with it,but I had none at all.My main side effects were tiredness from day 5 to 9,itchy skin rash,dry mouth and sore eyes.None of this was that bad for me Rosanna.I walked every day,and it really did help with the tiredness.All the best Rosanna,and make sure that you keep us informed as to how you are going.When do you start?Cheers xoxoRobyn
  • Hi Rosanna Well I'm up to my 5th treatment of chemo my first 3were a cocktail of FEC I can't remember what each one was and I'm too lazy to get of the lounge to go and look lol Now my next 3are Docetaxel so I've had 2 and only have 1more to go yay........now remember everyone has individual responses but for me personally with docetaxel I've had bad joint pain and a sore tongue and the tiredness is a little worse but that could be the overall affect of 5chemo sessions
