How you have docetaxel-acetate treatment

docetaxel-acetate is a liquid that you have through a drip (infusion) into a vein (intravenously). Each infusion takes about an hour and you have one every 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the type of cancer you have.
You can have it through a thin, short tube (a cannula) put into a vein in your arm each time you have treatment. Or you may have it through a central line, a portacath or a PICC line. These are long, plastic tubes that give the drugs directly into a large vein in your chest. The tube stays in place as long as you need it.
You usually have chemotherapy as a course of several cycles of treatment. We have information about planning chemotherapy.
docetaxel-acetate can cause an allergic reaction. To try to prevent this, your doctor or nurse will give you steroid tablets to take, usually for 3 days, starting the day before each treatment. For prostate cancer your steroid treatment usually starts 12 hours before your chemotherapy. You will then have 2 further doses at 3 hours before treatment, and 1 hour before treatment. It is very important that you take the tablets according to the instructions your doctor or pharmacist gives you. You should take the right dose, not more or less.
