Introduction

I had Taxotere and although I skimmed over the info about side effects, I didnt get those.  I have to tell you a quick story about a friend of mine, whom I didnt support very well when she went through breast cancer.  We were moving house to a different state, and she and I had drifted apart before she got cancer.,  She is fine today, and gone back to her job.  However, on the occasion I did let her know that I then got breast cancer a year after her, she decided to tell me, for an hour over the phone, how aweful it would be.  How many things to look out for that would go wrong, and how terrible it was.  She didnt hold back, and it was her way of paying me back.  We dont speak over the phone any more.  I had a totally different experience to her and non of her bad side effects.  I look at that situation and can only say, it depends on you state of health before you got cancer, your support and emotional support, the choices you make nutritionally and being sensible about what you do.  Sure I had my things to deal with, but putting that list on here wont help you, because your things will be different.  I am now 8 months since all my treatment finished.  Good luck, X Bel
