TAXOL ALLERGIC REACTIONS
I had carbo/taxol for 6 rounds back in 2000. I had my second carbo/taxol on another 6 round regimine today.

PRESCRIPTION ASSISTANCE?
Does anyone out there know of any organizations/companies that offer chemo medications at a lower cost? I know there are tons of places on-line where you can get meds less expensively, but it's hard to know if they're reputable or not and if the meds are authentic.
