Hi all
Feeling the need to post as feel like c****. Had 3rd taxotere on Wednesday and haven’t slept probably since. Am I the only one that suffers with not being able to sleep after chemo??!! Really aching today. I’m sure the GCSF injections don’t help matters. Stuggling to find the energy to type. Keep telling myself the aching and c*** feelings will pass, it’s just so hard when your going through it. Haven’t left the house today, got up about 3pm and going stir crazy.
Hi Nam
I will also be having Tax after 4 x FEC, so I don’t know at the moment how I will feel or cope, but I am just sending you a big email hug, hope you’re feeling a little brighter today.

Only just seen this.
I think it might be the steroids that you have to take for a three day period whilst on Taxotere which are keeping you awake.
Be sure to take the first dose early in the morning and the second BEFORE 2 pm.
Hope you feel better soon (I’ve recently had my 4th and last Taxotere)

I was told by my onc today that I cannot have Taxotere because I had an allergic reaction to the first influsion. I’m terribly disappointed, as I know it is a very effective drug that I need. So from my position, I would just say, be glad that you are able to have it, it may save your life.
