Hi 

I had 10 sessions of Docetaxel in the 1st 6 months of this year,no cap for me,steroid crash for a few days after injection,metal mouth until about day 5/6,no insomnia or constipation,also had a few bad colds,found it was accumulative but coped well,still feel slight numbness in feet and fingers but nothing that holds me back from doing anything, found that keeping a diary and writing down the effects after each session helped.

Hope this helps regards Phil

Thank you Phil we did wonder if the 6 sessions may be extended to 10. Were you initially prescribed 10 or was it extended to 10? My husband is worried about the CT at the end of this. He still has pain sitting so that hasn’t changed. Thank you 😊
