Hi Janet,
I heard a lot of good things about Taxotere when I was going through my treatment. You probably know that it is a synthetic a Pacific Yew Tree derivative. There was a lot of praise of the pure form quite a few years ago. My experience with it wasn’t good, but everyone reacts differently. The first few days after the infusion I felt great, but as time went on I felt worse, the opposite to the first round with the standard treatment. The side effects for me were tingling, numbness in the soles of my feet and palms. As the treatment progressed the worse it got. Now I have permanent nerve damage in my feet and palms. This isn’t too bad, I’m used to it now. I also gets sharp stabs of pain in my toes, feet and legs. I have had short term memory problems and fatigue. This could be because of the standard treatment, the Taxotere or both. This has been the biggest problem for me. I finished this treatment over two years ago. I know a couple of other women who were in the same study but have lost touch with them. The last I heard they were both doing extremely well.
What is your situation? Is this the first line of attach? What part of the world are you in? I’m guessing you’re in Canada if you know Kamloops.
Good luck tomorrow!
All the best,
Davlin
