Just wondering if people could share their experience with taxotere. I am starting in on Feb 4/08 and would like to have a heads up. I was on FEC and experienced major Nausea and fatigue. Out for a week with it. They are telling me that it is more muscle ache and tingling in fingers, minimal nausea. What have you had???
