Round 4 - Taxotere
Well today is day 5 of my first round of Taxotere and man, am I achey! Mentally I feel really good which is great (I hate being depressed) but physically it feels like a really bad dose of the flu. ...

Glad to hear you are coping but Taxotere nearly bloody killed me!
Some advice is to get some Biotene mouth sprays, gels and chewing gum as your mouth break down on you due to the lack of saliva.
Keep yourself and others around you as germ free as possible and limit visits as much as you can from everyone as fatigue is indescribable to those who have never had it and you need to look after yourselves the most.
Keep ahead of any pain with constant pain meds, I was on Endone by cycle 4 and needed it as was injecting Neulasta as well as Taxotere can really lower your white cell count and Neulasta is a killer for bone pain.
I was receiving Carboplatin/Herceptin as well and this could have made mine different and I hope it does.
