My next round of Chemo will be infused into me on the 19th of November( Taxotere )and will extend for 9 weeks. I will also be required to give myself injections everyday into my leg or belly ( my choice ) which is going to hopefully conteract some of the side effects of this round.
Taxotere (docetaxel) works by attacking cancer cells.
In the process of attacking cancer cells, Taxotere® chemotherapy treatment may harm healthy cells, such as blood cells and cells in the mouth, stomach, intestines, esophagus and hair follicles. This harm to healthy cells is what causes chemotherapy side effects.
