Hi Anna , and all you lovely ladies . Unfortunately since my update, the Docetaxel has now shown its effects on me . I had 8 steroids the day before Chemo , on the day and decreasing amounts over the next 4 days . First day without the steroids And I started itching my neck ... then chest ... then shoulders . Over 24 hours it was as if I had severe prickly heat and sunburn.... also oral thrush ! Seems I have an allergic reaction to the Docetaxel which can start anytime over 7 days of infusion ! Now on antibiotic mouth drops , antihistamines, steroid cream . Had a temperature last night but kept drinking iced water and stripped off . Oh and a mouth full of ulcers this morning 😖 The hospital is ringing me today to see how I am. I thought I had got away with things on Docetaxel but nope ! The Fec made me feel very nauseated which lasted a week , and was pleased after the first Docetaxel didn’t make me feel like that , however .... I’m not sure which treatment is worse now ! I get a phone call from olncologist a week before each chemo treatment, so maybe they will change something for next time ? I hope you all are having a better week than I am xx
