Started taxotere 7/10/07.Will get every 3 weeks times 2 more times. Very tired with this one. Some muscle and joint pain.
Working / Worked
This one really made my body hurt, my nose seeped blood continually up until three weeks after it was all finished. Also had "bleeds" under my nails when they would get bumped. Fatigue was almost unbearable on the 3rd, 4th and 5th day. This was the hardest chemical of all of them. Discomfort lingered for quite awhile after last treatment.
Working / Worked
Began April 24th, 2007, completed July 2007. It was bad, could have been worse. There's nothing fun about chemo.
