Congrats on 2 left!  I had taxol and on my third infusion, had a really severe reaction.  I couldnt breathe, all the blood rushed to my face and my throat started to close.  I was pumped with more benadryl and continued the taxolat a slower pace.  It was really scary.  I'm glad your reaction wasn't as bad.  It's a strong drug.

I reacted, too....but it was more respiratory....
			
So, they did and extra hydration after infusion, and slowed the whole process down...so, 2 hydrations per infusion...it was 5-6 hours for each session, but it sure made a difference!


Hugs, Kathi

I have had 3 taxol so far of 12. no reactions so far, get benadryl before treatment. it does seem sooooolong. bout I had a hard time with AC so will take the slower route. I still get diahrea  My IV got a benadryl reaction and the site was all red and hurt, did better after decadron but they put anew one in for taxol did not want a problem. I am noticing how much i drink I have cotton mouth always dry is this from taxol?
