Side effects strike again!

Hi my last docetaxel was on Feb 22. I had the ice gloves and posted a picture a few posts back. My tip is to take strong pain killers before using them as I couldn't stand the pain of having them on for 90 minutes!  So far my nails are fine. I used a nail hardener but no dark polish. I also used hardener on my toes and haven't had a problem with them yet.

Not sure how many Docetaxel's you are having but I found it to be cumulative and that the side effects got worse with each treatment. The shortness of breath I was experiencing is now being put down to Docetaxel and is really improving now that I no longer have to have that drug. 

The head sweat might be the start of hot flushes but I really hope not. Last night was the first night of 6 hours sleep I have had in weeks due to the hot flushes and the only reason why I got this was that I had a allergic reaction to something and had to have Phernegan which knocked me out! I am starting a new epilepsy medication today to help stop the hot flushes even though I don't have epilepsy.

Good luck with it and take care.
