Hi Janey, it is over two years now since I had Docetaxol, and I remember the awful tongue, aches and yucky taste. My oncologist was great, and told me to take panadol from before the day 4 pain sets in and take it 4 hourly for a day or two. It really did help, so the bone pain for me was only bad before I discovered the power of panadol. The other thing that I discovered, although almost at the end of my chemo, was that the lime or lemon flavoured flat mineral water actually tasted ok, and would quench my thirst. I wish I had found this out on cycle one rather than cycle 4, but better late than never.i am thinking of you, and hope you will soon be over the worst of it. Be kind to yourself, and if it is a BLOB day, then go with the flow and veg out. For me that was always a Sunday following my Thursday chemo. My bone pain came on day 4 and 5. Good luck. Love Chris
