Hello everyone 
Hope you all doing well
My mum completed her 3 cycle of EC and last week she had her first cycle out of the 4, Docetaxel and Phesgo
Side effects she is having now is diarrhoea for the last 7 day, still going but not frequent maybe twice a day, nausea feeling and heartburn. Called triage, she was prescribed with lanzaprazole which helped with the heartburn, triage team said with diarrhoea is also part of side effects from chemo, they told me to wait and see and than call back.
Anyone experienced the same and if you have any tips and advises on what to do and how to cope with these side effects.
How long did it lasts for you

Hi @millie7
So sorry to hear you had a reaction to the chemo. Gosh that was a long time to spend in hospital. You must have been really poorly.
I’m hoping you’re still checking in as I’ve also had a bad reaction to Carbo/Docetaxel and Phesgo after the first cycle. The proposal is to stop Carbo/Doce but continue with Phesgo- will be seeing doc next week to discuss. I was wondering how long you were off treatment and what changes did they make to your chemo to prevent it happening again.
Diarrhea is a side effect of docetaxel
