Hello. I’m really, really struggling- am on 2nd session of Docetaxal, having been ok with the FEC part of FEC-T
Is it normal for several days after ‘T’ to feel dwarfed by flu pains.
Thx x
I had my first Docetaxel 2 weeks ago and spent the first 3 days in bed with profound tiredness and dreadful joint aches and pains (probably made worse as I had spent so much time lying down) The next 2 days, the pain was bearable but still there, but since day 6, the fog lifted and the aches and pains have gone. I too was fine with FEC, besides feeling tired for a couple of days. Good Luck for future rounds x
My FEC unfortunately did nothing for my tumour and I had surgery brought forward, so I’m now scheduled for 6 lots of Docetaxel…
I had my first round of docetaxel 3 weeks ago- sat having round two as I type!
Was okay the day of and after but by the Friday/Saturday I felt like I’d been run over by a bus and the reversed over!
By Sunday I had the doctor out who gave me co codamal and that helped with the pains, i then started weening myself off them -just taking at night as I was warned they become addictive - I’ve been addicted to them in the passed due to chronic wisdom tooth pain where I was left for 6 month and didn’t want that again.
A lady of one of the forum suggested some pain relief to ask for will try and find the post - I did screenshot for reference x
I was given some antihistamines (sorry, can’t remember the name) after my first round of docetaxel. I take them on the days I’m doing the injections and I had almost no bone pain at all with them. Might be worth asking your oncologist to prescribe you some for your next cycle. Good luck
