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.
