4th chemo (3 fec & 3 docataxel)

Hi guys, 

 

look for some some help out there I had no 4 and my first tax last Monday and it’s really knocked me for six!  I found fec hard but manageable.  I’ve heard that 4th chemo is quiet often the hardest?  Anyone on 5 or 6 now with advice please?

Hi Natlaw,

Docetaxol is a new drug that your body doesn’t recognise and so goes into panic mode but it will recognise it next time. It happened to me with both fec and t with the 1st dose hitting the hardest - I coped better with subsequent doses of each although fatigue got worse with each dose. Is there anything specific you have found hard to cope with? X
