Husband diagnosed with lung cancer. Has anyone else had Docetaxel?

My husband was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer last October 2023. He was give chemotherapy Paclitaxel and Carboplatin for 4 cycles every 3 weeks. The tumour started to shrink and he was doing really well, then the oncologist decided to put him on Immune therapy every 6 weeks. After 4 sessions he got inflammation and blood clots on both lungs so they had to stop the immune therapy.
what they didn’t tell us is that sometimes immmune therapy can cause this inflammation.  they put him on a high dose of steroids 16 a day to get rid of this inflammation. After suffering really bad side effects coming off the steroids for 8 days being sick and shaking (like a drug addict) they Have now after 6 months started a different chemotherapy called Docetaxel which is a strong one and at the moment he is bedridden and feeling very sick after just one session.  Has anyone else gone through this or is going through this treatment.?

  • So sorry to read what your husband and you are going through.

    My husband too has lung cancer and it has now spread to his bones. It must be awful for you not to spend quality time with your husband when you really need to, and have to watch him suffer instead. 

    Because of the type of cancer my husband has he is no longer on chemo and is on a completely different drug with little side effects but still in a lot of pain after a lobectomy and pain in his bone so I can't offer you any insight just sympathy for your situation.x
