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. ...

Hi Mich
Hope you are doing okay. I am much better this week, and managed to have a very 'ordinary' weekend for a change. Got out and about and felt human again!
I found by day 8 of the taxotere I was back to feeling 'normal' again. I did take panadol for the first week, and even a couple of ibuprofen too. They really helped with the bone and joint pain. The nausea was negligble and for the first 2.5days after infusion I didn't feel too bad at all. Was only on the third day that the joint pain started.
I also had some stomach cramping and bleeding (even though I had my period the week before chemo) so I think this may be the start of menopausal symptoms for me! Whether it will be permanent of just temporary I am yet to find out.
Wishing you an easy journey, let me know how you go.
Take Care, Natalie :)
