Chest pain on taxotere??

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has experienced really bad chest pain after taking Taxotere?

After three previous sessions of FEC, I had my first dose of tax on New Years Eve and yesterday (day 5) I had some really uncomfortable chest pains in the morning. I couldn’t shift them and an hour later I was doubled up in pain. The chemo suite advised an ambulance and 30 mins later I ws in A & E with a suspected blood clot on my lung???

Thankfully scan and chest x ray were clear and I am now back home, still with some chest pain, but feeling a million times better than I did.

I am at a loss as to why this happened and now wonder if it’s just somethinh I will experience on tax. Not a pleasant experience and very scary.

Hope someone can give me some advice on this.

Thanks. Love and hugs. Debbie. xx
