Hi, Im new to this site..i hope you are all having a good day. I’ve had 4 x fec and had my first docetaxol 10 days ago. Wow.. I feel like a 90 year old has highjacked my body (I’m 45) I was hoping the side effects would have worn off by now but I’m still so achy and weak. I have had to inject myself with the bone marrow stuff which causes even more back pain. ️
Ive got my second taxol on the 14th feb and thinking I might ask for a reduction in the dosage as I’ve had nearly every side effect going.. it felt like battery acid had been tipped down my throat, no tastes buds, loss of appetite. Sore nose with nose bleeds, dry skin, aches and pains all over and very tired. Like I say it’s 10 days on and whilst some side effects are getting better it seems like there’s no end in sight.
I think I’m feeling a bit sorry for myself at the moment, but reading other people experiences helps so much. Any advice dealing with the taxol would be great.
Hi Fishnvhips, aww bless you.iv got a cold at moment.so no aches pains yet.but very tired.hope you get better soon.its horrible feeling like old lady.when I been having aches and pains I get upset a lot x
