new girl on the block

Breast Cancer for third time mets to lymph node in neck.Caused Lymphedema and blood clots. Started this relationship in 2005. I have just had second round of chemo (first one put me in hosp for a week after 9 days due to white cell count and infection). I still feel bleah after 10 days. fed up with it..Chemo drug is docetaxel.  I would be pleased to hear from anyone on same drug.

  • Hi Raz I was in this drug during my treatment. I found it very hard and had issues with white blood count. Also about three days after getting infusion I had severe pain in just about every bone in my body especially my big toes. I was given medication to stimulate white blood cells which are made in bones especially large bones. So probably the reason for the discomfort. It took me about ten days to recover then just when I thought I was getting over it I got next dose. So my experience with this drug was bad. Are you going on other treatments. Take care WA
