@hoggie It’s not a common side effect, but it does happen and I find that a lot of people haven’t been adequately informed so I make sure to point it out when I see people starting their courses of docetaxel. I don’t know if you’ve seen jo (tit_less_wonder on instagram) but she had it happen to her, so she’s particularly outspoken about it. There’s loads of info on her instagram if you’re interested in reading more about it.
