Anyone have any experience with Docetaxel? I had a bad allergic reaction to Paclitaxel so now going to try something different.

    I've noticed that nobody has responded to you. Have you had the Docetaxel infusion? How did it go? Like all the damn drugs, every responds differently to them. I tolerated pacitaxil (barely) but now I'm on Doxil for a recurrence. I've only had one infusion but it was worse than the taxol, but "they" say Doxil is easier. Leave it to me to be the one where it's worse.

    Thanks for responding. I’ve had two treatments of the Doce…they both were easier than the Paclitaxel as far as body aches and the severe allergic reactions. Which I will take. But I still had bad acid reflux and about 2-3 days of bad fatigue that included pressure on my chest.
