Hi @Lookingup
So sorry you are struggling. Yes, I had Docetaxel and struggled big time. I had most of your symptoms but not really any nausea. As you probably know, keep an eye on your temp, just in case any of these symptoms turn out to be an infection of some type.
That injection for your white blood cells can cause the bone pain as you say. But so does the chemo too.
I had 3 lots of Docetaxel after 3 rounds of FEC and it knocked me flat. With FEC I would have a couple of good weeks each time but not with the Docetaxel. The only good thing was finishing it! This last time means that as you recover that will be that. No more!
If you have any issues with your temp or your symptoms get worse (particularly the stomach cramps, diarrhoea and nausea) then get it checked. Sometimes it can be a bug you have picked up. Hope you are feeling better soon. Take care. Deanne xxx
