Had first of 6 cycles of Taxotere yesterday. SO far no problems except for bad taste of everything since & usual hot flushes from steroid meds. Seems that my markers are moving very fast in the wrong direction - over 60 points in only 2 weeks so something had to be done. Let's hope this chemo works.

Love to all. Pam

    You're in my heart and thoughts and here's a big warm hug (which should have no difficulty spanning a few oceans)to go with
    my best wishes that the Taxotere will be
    successful.

    Love, light and laughter,
