Has anyone taken docetaxel on a 2 week cycle at 50 mg vs the traditional 3 week cycle at 75 mg? I have read that it has less side effects.

My husband did it low-dose which was 25 mg for 3 weeks and 1 week off, getting the full 75 mg dose but split over 3 weeks. No hair loss or neuropathy but did have severe nausea.
How often and how long did the nausea last. How did he deal with it. Tx
This study recommends 2 week cycles at 50 mg: "The 2-weekly administration was associated with significantly longer time to treatment failure than was 3-weekly administration". With other words, this had better results.
