I had to take panadiene around day 4.I had the most awful headache and bone/muscle pains.I think I stayed in bed for about 3 days-it's a blur now.But the panadiene helped.I didn't vomit but rather lost my appetite and food tasted weird.My mouth felt like it was lined in fur.I could only eat vegie soup,crackers,lemon cordial and lemonade iceblocks.Taxotere is abit harder on your white cells so you have to stay away from crowds/germs.Be very diligent with mouth care.If you get anxious when you get to the onc unit you can always ask for a "calm you down "pill.It helped me -no medals get handed out for bravery there!!
