Switch from Docetaxel to Paclitaxel
Dear All,
I am just crawling out of the abyss nearly 3 weeks after my first round of Docetaxel (following 3 rounds of FEC). The side effects were just awful - I seem to have had every single one!

Let me know how the fat implants go, as my surgeon has told me I will have issues with implants, although that is about 6 months away, due to not much skin to work with. I will face that then though.
I like you felt the emotional side of dealing with all of this had an impact on my partner and daughter. Just lately I have decided that I am going to live my life the best I can, do all the things life has to offer, despite the fact that I have had this diagnosis.
I have told my family I do not want to talk about the disease with them anymore, I consider myself cured and I will face whatever happens in the future, when it happens. I refuse to be a victim of this shitty disease. I also consider other people die when they die, I have a pre-warning that something is wrong and it may cut my life short but I am going to pack as much hapiness in as I can no matter what the future brings. Day by day.
That is how I intend on living whatever life I have before me.
I hope work improves for you and you look after yourself emotionally as well as physically.
