Hi Chrissy, I meant to tell you that you and I are on the same chemo, docetaxel & herceptin. I was calling it taxotere which is the same as docetaxel. I will be having the same for all 6 treatments. It was only the first time that I felt the side affects badly, but not as bad as you. Hopefully this will be the same for you & you won't suffer so badly for the other 2. I too, have gained weight as I feel quite lethargic, but my appetite hasn't diminished at all. As for the mouth ulcers, I only had them the first round & since then I have been using a mouth wash after every chemo with a bi-carb base. No more mouth ulcers! So take heart, it will get better!!!
