Side effects from docetaxel were definitely milder than I had feared they might be. They did get progressively worse with each infusion. I had six cycles, and was very glad not to have a seventh. The following year I had six cycles of cabazitaxel. In my case, the side effects started sooner and were stronger. Again, I was very glad not to have a seventh infusion. It took me a couple months to feel like I was back to normal. Some side effects have lingered, but they are tolerable. I got very good results, so it was worthwhile to endure the treatment.
