How things? Thinking about you @round21

@buddies feel like a nuclear bomb went off in my body!

Days 2 &3 dry mouth, loss of taste & generally meh… Day 4 bed bound and couldn’t stop crying, think it was crash from steroids, sore mouth, cheekbones, head, lower back aswell.

Honestly felt like I can’t do this on Friday I was so low. I feel like I’m slowly starting to crawl out of it and have some appetite back today although things don’t taste as I’d expect.

I’m going to ask gp about possible muscle relaxant for first week of next cycle as I felt so tense and couldn’t lie still or relax my mind or body.

I’d forgotten just how brutal docetaxel can be!

How are things with you? Are you number 3 tomorrow?

Sending love and positive energy xxx

Bless you….i felt exactly the same round 1, it was hell!

round two, more manageable and side effects less severe…I would advise you to speak to your onc team as they tweaked my take home meds and they’ve certainly helped, I’ve mouth wash and thrush treatment so I was forarmed more and on top before symptoms kicked in!

Yep round three tomorrow, I’m dreading it xx
