Some good news at last!

Hi Nik, I'm pretty sure that Taxol and Docetaxel both are from the same family of chemo drugs know as 'Taxanes' so presumably have similar side effects. I had Docetaxel which my husband 'affectionately' dubbed Doceshit! I can sympathise with your Mum. This drug was worse for me than the AC as well. Let her know that it comes to an end and I am feeling better today already with less bone pane which I found to be the hardest to bear. Is your Mum going to have any futher treatment after chemo? What was her diagnosis if you don't mind me asking. I will keep in touch to let you both know how I get on in the coming weeks. Ask any questions you like. I have sent you a contact request so you can see my blogs and vice versa. I think your Mum has a wonderful daughter Nik. Hugs from Jane xxx
