How long do the aches last-first Docetaxel.
Hi. After 3 FEC I have just had my first doxetaxel. I was really sick with FEC so it’s great not to have vomiting & nausea but yesterday the pain started. I feel like I have the flu. My head aches,...

I had 3 X FEC and 3x Docetaxel.
for me the pain went after about day 7.
That could also have been because I was having Neulasta injections on day 2 and was taking Loratadine to counteract the bone pain that caused.
Perhaps even if you were not having Neulasta you could try the Loratadine (Clarytyne). It might help.
Yes, I had the ear, jaw, chest bone, hip pain, it seemed to rotate around my body at different times. I also used Panadol Osteo, Panadol, and Endone at different times.
The second and third doses were a bit better, pain wise, but possibly too as I was expecting it and handled it better.
Legs felt like lead the whole way through and I was very unsteady on my feet.
Minor neuropathy in some fingers, tongue and lips, better by week 3 and gone 3 months after finishing chemo.
Raging diarrhoea from day 1 of Docetaxel took another fortnight after finishing to settle down.
It really affected my nails, especially the thumb nails, they are still growing out the revolting lumpiness and black streaks. I finished chemo at the end of June.
Just think, only two more to go, you are 1/3 of the way through!
