Chemo (docetaxel) does not change your life, Yes, while you are on it, it can be not too bad or a real pain, Again, no two people are the same. I was in an Ancan.org Advanced prostate cancer meeting and one guy came in and said he was doing chemo but after doing chemo, for 10 days, he couldn’t eat food, didn’t taste good. He lost a lot of weight then he’d have a few days where he’d recovered completely, ate a lot of food, then back to the next chemo session. The other people that said they were just uncomfortable for a few days after, had to rest to recover.

Good chemo issues explanations

@jeffmarc Thanks for your reply. I'm ready to commit to 6 treatments, Iv every 3 weeks. How's life after and what about the hair issue?
