Diagnosed with Inflammatory Breast Cancer. Found two tumors and it spread to the skin and a couple lymph nodes. The chemo reduced the size of the tumors after the first treatment, and have continued to shrink. The skin and lymph nodes cleared up completely. The side effects were minimal for me. Only tiredness. I was able to go to work after treatments and have not missed a day since the treatments started. Hair is long gone, headaches, tearing and dry skin have been about the worst of it and have all been very manageable. I consider myself lucky. It is working and I am living a pretty normal life!Read More Read Less

Metastatic breast cancer tumors in sternum, ribs and vertebrae shrank. Pleural fluid in lung reduced. I breathe better. My nails are all dark and crooked, I'm sometimes weak and sleepy but I'm alive and probably will be longer because of docetaxel!

Lost 3 toenails so far; all fingernails split. Considerable bone pain. skin peeled from hands, feet. Constant eye tearing caused skin around the eyes to peel and then turned black like a racoon! Painful mouth sores, typical nausea controlled by medication, constantly tired. Neulasta probably contributed to severe bone pain. treatment every two weeks; pain and some tiredness lasted first week only. Tumor did shrink almost 50% but grew right back in one month; I managed to work through treatment but treatment probably would have worked better if I got proper rest and less job-related stress. I DO NOT recommend working through this treatment; it was absolutely brutal. I'm now on disability taking Taxol with Avastin every week and it's a breeze in comparison! Also, we need to push to get Chemo-brain recognized as a condition; all who experienced it know exactly what I mean! My tumor caused severe nerve pain which subsided immediately after Taxotere began, and that alone made treatment worthwhile.Read More Read Less

I am on cycle 5 and I hate taking this drug. I have nausea, diarrhea, sweating, fluid retention, loss of taste, fatigue (not to mention loss of hair and nail changes). If it keeps my tumor from coming back, however, I suppose it will be worth it.
