Hi Fiona
I have recently finished four rounds of Docetaxyl, you are absolutely right, it's completely horrible to get through. I too had terrible bone pain and mouth/ throat pain.
Like Marlee says in her post, I took mersyndol night strength and it was the only thing that worked well for me to ease the discomfort. I did take two at a time but I also had additional bone pain from nivestim injections!
Also for the mouth problems my aromatherapist friend made a mix of clove oil (about 5-10 drops) in about 1/2 cup of coconut oil. You put 1/4 teaspoon in your mouth and swish it all around a few times a day. Natural antibacterial and anti microbial and it helped me a lot!
Goodluck :)
