Re: Terrible time with Taxotere??
Suzanne,
My chemo was almost 4 years ago. I had the most pain with Taxol (is it the same as Taxotere). It was not half as bad as what you are having. One night, I could barely stand up and I was scared. We called the doctor and she prescribed Decradon (sp) as I recall. I know it was a steroid. Anyway, I know it really helped. I was towards the end of treatment so I only had to take it a few times, but I still remember feeling helped by the drug.
All the best, no fun to hurt, I hope the doctor can get you some relief.
Catherine
