Good evening, ladies,

I finished 5.5 treatments of taxotere (docetaxel), Carboplatin and Herceptin (still on Herceptin until Oct.)

My legs would feel a little rubbery for a few days after every treatment. My last (yay!) treatment was March 12, and my legs, especially the front of my thighs, feels weak when I try to walk uphill for any distance. My legs also swell from the knee down, which is something they didn't do before. Usually it is more pronounced in the evening. The doctor checked my heart, etc and all seems to be ok. So is the leg weirdness from the Taxotere?

Is this normal? If so, how long does it last? Hiking was/is one of my few pleasures....

Thanks,
Diannes
