Taxotere was enormously rough for me.  All my finger and toe
nails are gone. 
  I have hand and foot neuropathy.  And I had the extreme
tiredness so much 
that I was considering asking the Onc for a handicapped
parking permit.  The 
odd pains like you had too.

My mrm was Oct 16.  I went through a few rough weeks.  BUT
the path report 
showed that the chemo had "killed" the cancer. 
And now I actually have 
energy!  In fact yesterday and today I primed and painted my
family room 
ceiling.  This energy is kind of scary because I haven't had
this much 
energy for years.  Aside, I had a toenail fungus.  And I'm
wondering if the 
taxotere killed the fungus.  Maybe the fungus was keeping me
tired.  I 
didn't want to take the lamasil for the toenails because my
podiatrist said 
it was hard on the liver.  I used a topical treatment and
ate tons of 
yogurt.

I start rads on Thursday.  I understand it brings with it
extreme fatigue.  
So I'm glad I got a few things done while I have energy.  I
am praising God 
for great docs and great chemo.  And good pain meds too.
