What can you do to control the side effects and toxicities from docetaxel and prednisone?
For the most part, there are a wide variety of supportive medications to help prevent or alleviate most of the common side effects. Your doctor can also give you either a dose reduction or a chemotherapy vacation or rest until your body recovers from the side effects. This is especially useful if you are responding to these treatments. He or she can give you diuretics to also remove excess fluid that may result from docetaxel treatment.
