Hi, Sally! My wife had taxotere, along with carboplatin, every three weeks for six weeks. She lost her hair, she was nauseous (meds for that), she lost her appetite (I had to push purees and liquids), she had skin rash and mouth fungus (meds for those), numbing and necrosis of finger tips and toes (meds for that), diarrhea (meds). Was it worth it? Darn tootin'! She recovered from all that and is presently in good health after 13 months from diagnosis. Good luck. Don
