Hello. First, giving all honor and glory to God. Bc without Him, I would not be here or be able to stand strong through this battle.
I was on docetaxel. First, let me say, everyone is different and will have different experiences with medication. It was the worse for me. I lost my nails, they all fell off. Not trying to scare anyone, but this was my experience. All nails turned black, toes and fingers. I developed neuropathy. I had a few mouth sores, but the worse was the neuropathy and nails falling off. If I think of anything drastically different than your regular hair loss, nausea, fatigue, etc. I will let you know. I’ve learned that we have to help the body fight and recover with natural remedies as much as possible bc the chemo kills not only the cancer cells but the healthy parts of the body as well. If we don’t help the body build itself back up, we lose it.

Hi: my only side effect was a little neuropathy in my feet and I was icing my hands, head and feet at all 12 treatments. Now I am on 4 rounds of Doxorubicin every 3 wks apart. Just finished #2. I’ve lost my eyelashes and my hair is starting to shed. I hope this helps. @chrisbomstad
