I had docetaxel,and these side effects are pretty normal.From about day 6 onwards,my side effects started.Usually by about day 10, they start to settle.I had a sore throat,and I also used biotene toothpaste,but the thing that I found the best was the Biotene mouthwash.I used it EVERY time after I ate something,even if it was a couple of bites.The tiredness is something that you have to go with.When you are tired just rest,and do what you can when the tiredness passes.Try to get in a walk each day,because it really does help to alleviate the fatigue.Keep an eye on your temp,and if it goes up,then get yourself checked out,but I feel that what you are describing is a common side effect of chemo.Stay in touch.xoxRobyn
