Hello I have been taking taxotere and before that I was taking taxol, the taxol was pretty easy to get through but the taxotere gave me the worst yeast infection in my mouth and down my throat I could not talk right because my mouth hurt so bad, also had yeast infection in my private area. by my 2nd round of this drug I ordered clotrimazole 10 mg and also have a mouth wash lido/nyst/sod chl that I use four times a day and bought some monistat 7 for the private area. and it has helped still get mouth sores but the mouth wash is doing its job. also the last treatment I sucked on ice chips and iced my feet. I hope this helps you and I pray you get through this treatment. It is a good drug for cancer so hang in there take it day by day and if you are tired sleep we will make it through this .

Thank you, Cynde/Loula. The doc has also mentioned Taxol. I believe he said it's a pill form? Haven't heard Taxotere mentioned - yet. Fingers crossed it won't come up. It doesn't sound 'fun'... Best to you. Carlies
