Cycle 3, Week 1
I’m finding cabazitaxel to be less predictable as I go through treatments, and certainly not like docetaxel where side effects kicked in like clockwork. Tuesday and Wednesday were side effect free, which is one thing that hasn’t changed. Normally the jabbing pains in my legs and ankles start on Thursday. This time is was barely noticeable, with the pain being less frequent and less intense. Thursday I had brain fog for the first time this round. When I say brain fog, I don’t mean chemo brain where it’s hard to think of a word or forgetting things. This is more like an out of body experience where I feel like I’m floating and my brain feels like I took way too much Benadryl. This only lasted a couple of days, done by Saturday. If it’s like docetaxel, it will last more days the farther along I go in treatment. Fortunately I’m on vacation, so I pretty much stayed in bed for a couple of days. On Friday I started experiencing metal mouth. I’ve noticed that peripheral neuropathy has increased. Now both my feet are tingly. Up to now, it’s just been in my left foot, primarily my big toe.
