Taxotere
Happy New Year everyone.
I have finished my 3 rounds of FEC, and am due to start taxotere on the 12th Jan.
Can anyone give me advice?
Much love

Leonie is spot on.I ended up in hospital isolation by day 10 on Taxotere.You feel like roadkill from a mack truck around day3-6.I just spent those days in bed under the doona.Your mouth feels like it's lined with fur but I never vomitted.My oncologist told me it's harder on your white cells and hair folicles.It took 10 weeks post chemo before I saw any sign of a hair on my head.Some ladies have breezed through this chemo and some have fared worse.The unknown is always scary so my mantra is -prepare for the worst but hope for the best.Just don't make any big plans on the mack truck days!
love Tonya xx
