Hi @Trikki2. I had 4 rounds of Docetaxol and the last one was like Chernobyl, so I'm glad to hear that you are having 3. Mostly, I found the first three rounds ok. Some bone pain and muscle weakness, but no nausea. Just a word of warning, though- stay out of the sun in the days after your treatment! I discovered the hard way what it meant to be photosensitive, and sported a swollen, red hand and arm from 10 minutes sitting in direct sun, which developed into a full skin peel. It was dreadful. Taxol is powerful stuff, for sure, which is, of course exactly what we need. Take care and all the best. xx
