FEC -D Chemotheraphy
I am about to have my third chemo of the combination of drugs FEC. Then I will have 3 treatments of Docetaxel at 3 weekly intervals.
Any advice for handling possible side effects of this last drug?...

Hi there, I had my last docetaxel treatment about 6 weeks ago. I had no nausea or vomitting and felt quite hungry. I was happy about this because the treatment I had 9 years ago made me feel MUCH sicker. You need to drink lots of liquid during the week after treatment, and I found it easier to drink lemon barley cordial that was icy cold and use a straw. I had quite painful bones on days 4 and 5 and found it useful to stick rigidly to 4 hourly panadol. I found being active lessened the pain a bit. Also, I found I felt worse if I tried to do to much; I tried to stop and rest as soon as I felt tired. All the best for your treatment and take it easy. xx Jane
