Hi, I was on the same regime as Chris and would agree with everything she said. I felt tired and lethargic throughout the treatment (a bit like the early months of my pregrnancies), a hint of nausea from time to time, mild rashes, sore mouth, slight muscle aches on days 3-4 but nothing terribly dramatic.
I think the important things are to not expect too much of yourself during this time, accept offers of help that come your way, take all the medictions as Chris mentioned and address any little issues as they arise so that they don't get out of hand. If you have any concerns get some medical advice straight away.
Taxotere is not much fun - and losing your hair is the worst - but life goes on and you will get through it. I tried to look it as a time when I could be a "bit lazy" without feeling guity - lie in bed and read books etc. Be kind to yourself.
Good luck. I hope it goes as smoothly as possible for you. Janet :)
