About Treasureleo5

Hi. I have grade 2 breast cancer, diagnosed February 2021. Started chemo in may, 4 cycles of FEC-t followed by 4 cycles of Docetaxel. Last one was last Monday. The side effects of Docetaxel have been horrendous and not finding any help or advice has been hard. I keep being sign posted to websites where people have seemed reluctant to engage unless you are being “positive”. Can anyone tell me how they have coped with the never ending side effects and how long after chemo has finished do they continue for? I have a very supportive husband but there have been many times I have just wanted to give up
