I was on taxotere also. I could only tolerate three treatments. I was put on Protonix for the terrible acid. Until the protonix kicked in, I had to sit in my recliner and couldn't lay down, the pain was so bad, I swore I was having a heart attack. My onc said "enough" after the third treatment. I'm hoping that it was enough. I finished my year of herceptin this past December. I just went thru a series of scans and MRI's and so far everything looks good.
My good thoughts and prayers are with you, hang in there.
Hugs
