Hi Chrissy and Puds. Sounds like we are about the same stage of our treatments. I am eight days after number four, I have started with joint pains and terrible diarrhoea which has kept me awake for two nights. I am back at the oncology day unit today to get my line flushed. Hope you both are having a good day and the side effects not too bad. Best wishes to you both. Audrey x

I have finished my treatment yippee can't say I will miss it , slowly getting back to my self leg were very painful with last treatment a bit of nerve damage. But slowly improving hope all goes well for you xxxpuds 

Well done finishing your treatment! It must be an amazing feeling! I am nearly half way through so a bit to go! Can i ask what treatment u had? And what caused your painful leg? Have heard that taxotere can affect your joints?! Keep well xx

Yes it was taxotere, they have improved a bit now so I think I will be ok. Hang in there I hope you don't get too many side effects. Hope all goes well xx. Puds
