Re: Side effects-THP
Hi Embur,
Sounds like you are doing the right things. I found taxotere pretty hard, but it worked well for my liver mets. Watch your eyes (dryness, causing watering) and nails - both permanently damaged for me. Do try to work against the fatigue; but listen to your body and take care of yourself.
Best wishes...... Pam
