It was my first so assuming a full dose for my body weight. I think they will reduce it and I’ll have that discussion with the onc team before next dose. Like you I’m documenting each day so I can compare each round and severity of symptoms because there isn’t any way I’m going to remember with my chemo brain.
Looks like you’re one step ahead of me. Best wishes to you bigpickle x
Hi
Wondered how you are getting on?
Yes I am definitely suffering less this time. Nearly there 
I had my first Docetaxel 2 days ago - dreading what’s to come side effects wise although they did reduce my dose to 164 to get me through the door !
I had a melt down in chemo chair as drugs were 4 hours late and I was nervous being my first dose of dox. I felt silly afterwards everyone looking at me but they were all sympathetic .
Hang in there ladies. We are nearly done with this 
Hopefully the reduction in the dose will prevent some of the side effects @epic1. For me they started around day 4 and by about day 10 I felt much better. Hope its not too bad for you xxx
Hello and I hope you don’t mind me contacting you and asking how your peripheral neuropathy is now? I suffered, like you, was sobbing in pain, and my dose was reduced to 75% as was told just as efficacious. I asked the question as to why, if it is, we are not automatically on the 75% dose to spare us the nerve damage. They could not give me an answer. I finished chemo end January and my feet are still a problem. Am desperately seeking ways of healing them and considering laser treatment. Have been told that if symptoms do not resolve in 12 months then they are here to stay. Please let me know if your pain has subsided. With many thanks
I don’t mind you contacting me at all. We’re not far behind each other in terms of finishing chemo, my last one was Dec 30th with radiotherapy end of Jan.
Like you said on the Docetaxel, I think it was the 2nd one I couldn’t walk properly for several days and 2 days I just stayed in bed the pain was horrific. But now almost 4 months past chemo the peripheral neuropathy has lessened a lot. It hasn’t gone completely and I would say my finger tips and toe tips are still slightly numb, tingly but nothing I can’t cope with.
Unfortunately I haven’t found a way of healing I think it’s just time.
Best of luck and if you need to know anything else please ask. X
Thank you for your positive response. Am so hoping it will settle. EC was a breeze by comparison to Docetaxel. All the very best Sue
I couldn’t agree more, the Docetaxel was nasty but now I’ve started on the Letrozole I’m finding this even more harrowing tbh. For me personally the Letrozole is way harder than any chemo or rads.

Oh goodness I am so sorry. Have not been advised about medication to take post radiotherapy. As I am triple negative probably not this drug. Can you request an alternative since it is not agreeing with you? All the best Sue
