DOCETAXEL

Hey

I’m new to all this forum stuff but felt a need to reach out.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer on 7th December 2022. The  biopsy told it was a triple negative 3rd grade breast cancer. Yes this was a shock but I am not here to discuss my initial feelings. I had DOCETAXEL and WOW this worse (for me) worse than anything i could have imagined. I NEED TO KNOW IF MANY PEOPLE HAD THE SAME OR SIMILAR SIDE EFFECTS. I was told at the hospital to only do cancer research through the macmillan website as other sites may not be correct (yes, makes sense)   My side effects were really really bad but if you search my medically termed side effect into the search bar….. no results!!!!!

My side effect was PALMAR-PLANTAR. If you know you know. Okay, I apparently had a rare severe reaction but interested to hear from others who experienced this.

I have spoke to Macmillam concerning the website….

JUST WANT TO RAISE AWARENESS 

Thank you for taking time to read
