Starting DOSETAXEL this month

Hi everyone, iv just had my final EC chemotherapy for breast cancer and my 2nd half of treatment is dosetaxel,  im wondering what people's experience has been with this treatment? To be honest it's been fairly plain sailing for me on the EC chemo, apart from mouth ulcers, a swollen throat, and constipation for a few days here an there I feel it's gone quite well. I'm getting nervous about swapping over now as I don't know what to expect! Any advice welcome

  • Hiya, you seem on the exact same trajectory as my wife. Even down to the same treatments. This was my post about this exact thing yesterday, and the response was reassuring. www.cancerresearchuk.org/.../experiences-with-docetaxel

    Like yourself, my wife is worried about this. Like yourself also, my wife was also worried about the EC treatment, but it was nowhere near as bad as she thought it was gonna be.

    I'm not saying for one minute this may not be rough on both of you, but everything my wife has dreaded thus far has never panned out as bad as she thought it was going to. So there's that. Got my fingers crossed for both of you and i hope you and my wife get through this next treatment relatively smoothly.

    Seems you and my wife have to go goth for the next month or two as painting your nails black seems to be a thing.

  • Hi thanks for your reply, iv also read the link from the other lady. Iv managed really well with EC like your wife so feel nervous of what's to come, I had my 3rd an last EC treatment yesterday so il be starting the dosetaxel on the 28th Feb. We'll here's hoping your wife an myself will sail through as we have done so far. 

    Many thanks
