Taxotere side effects

[kduck]

Can anyone share and side effects on taxotere? I will be starting this IV Chemo and I’m trying to prepare myself. Can anyone tell me some things that will ease or prevent side effects will be great as well! Thanks 🙏🏽

I've been on Docetaxol "Taxotere" since Dec 3rd, 2020. As they say everyone reacts differently. I don't have bad side effects. Yes, lost my hair, no taste buds and fatigue. I do weekly infusion, 3 on then a week off. Maybe that's helping with the se's. My liver counts are back in range, tc's have dropped over 2500 pts and it's not affecting my bloods. Good luck, be positive. Stay Strong and Believe.
