docetaxel/taxotare

Hi Julia I also had 3x FEC & 3 Tax. I think with the taxotere the fatigue hit me the worst and is still a problem 5 weeks on. The aches and pains lasted 3 or 4 days and were bad but manageable with panadol or nurofen plus.. My nails are a horrible colour with ridges but still there, I also used revitanail. Also my taste buds went and for about a week each cycle and my mouth felt horrible - strong mints helped. My other advice is to get plenty of rest, drink heaps and heaps of water (which is easier to do on tax as you don't get as much nausea) and a warm bath did wonders for my aching body. Check out the link below. It's a blog mostly about taxotere. http://www.bcna.org.au/user/4930/blog/15925 Best of luck and take care Ann-Marie xx
