Taxatore Side Effects
Just wanted to know if anyone while on Taxatore experienced extreme fatigue for about 4 days after and also severe bone pain. Just had my first round of taxatore Wednesday. Felt good Wednesday and Thursday but Friday afternoon was overcome with extreme fatigue -- so extreme that for the next 4 days I did nothing but sleep. Felt like I had a sleeping sickness. In addition I am experiencing bone pain and pins and needles up and down my spine. My premed was Decadron the day before, day of and day after. Thanks.
