Docetaxel side effects
My next 4 chemos are docetaxel. Its side effects are really scaring me. Has anyone else had it and how bad was it? Does it make you loose hair as I have been doing the cold cap and dont want to waste ...
@Hils I think Docetaxel is different for everyone. I’m day 14 after my first dose and I have been very lucky so far. I had a headache and sore teeth the first couple of days that I couldn’t shake. A couple of mouth ulcers that went away with coconut oil. Day 5 and 6 were the worse days as I had bone pain in my pelvis and mid spine. Insomnia was a problem. After that it’s been ok and I still haven’t lost my her. I know it’s early days but apparently some people tolerate it well. Good luck and keep in touch 💕
