I only have experience with Docetaxel, but a few people here have said the side effects are similar. From what I've read, Docetaxel has a higher chance of Neuropathy and Cabazitaxel has a higher chance of Neutropenia. Here's the details in the prescribing info for both:

My husband was on them both. They are pretty much similar. Cabazitaxel does not cause neuropathy like docetaxel. You should expect pretty much the same symptoms as docetaxel.
