Docetaxel (Taxotere) + Carbo
I am highly allergic to Taxol hence to the change to
Docetaxel
. I was just wondering about hair loss etc etc. I have my 2nd round of chemo tomorrow at Guys but the first time with this combo - anxious is an understatement !!!!!

Anisina works with standard chemo to kill cancer cells 20 times faster
This a shorthand term to describe a family of drugs that embraces mainly the taxanes (paclitaxel,
docetaxel
, Abraxane) and vinca alkaloids (
vincristine
, vinblastine, Vineralbine) and which work by blocking the ability of cells to divide (mitosis).

IN CASE THIS IS OF INTEREST TO ANYONE.
In addition, the Scottish Randomized Trial in Ovarian Cancer (SCOTROC) trial suggested that as primary treatment,
docetaxel
(Taxotere) and paclitaxel have similar efficacy when combined with carboplatin and that
docetaxel
produces less neuropathy.

Hi all. Has anyone had lung cancer that has spread to the stomach?
They have now scheduled him to start a new course of
Docetaxel
on Friday. He's really deflated... He would have been over half way and now he's back at day one again. If anyone here has any info/experience of being in the same situation it would be great to hear your thoughts :)

Docetaxel treatment & effects?
I have been on Pemetrexed maintenance which appears to have stopped working so my oncologist has now discussed the possibility of treatment with

Any experience of Docetaxol.
Couldn't undergo round 5 of Carbo/Pemetrexed today as platelets slightly low (84) but not low enough to have blood transfusion, so it was decided to leave it for a week. Once I have completed round six I will have another CT scan, don't know whether it's with contrast or not and to be honest I don't
