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 ...

Dear @Hils,
Very good that the cold pack worked for you. That was me in Sept. 2017 - the spots, the burning skin, the hobbling, the peeling - OMG! Then relief from the cold packs. Often I don't post on the network because apart from the docetaxel side-effects, I got off very lightly through chemo, radiotherapy and ongoing hormone treatment; so I don't have a lot of advice to offer. Hope your endoscopy tomorrow brings clear info and a good treatment path for your infection.
