Allergic to Taxol?
Anyone allergic to taxol? My mom had a horrible hypersensitivity reaction at her first round. After pain meds, fluids, steroids, benadryl, and oxygen they started it back up slowly and she was able to complete it. Yesterday was round 2. She got premeds and they started the taxol slow but she still reacted again. They declared her allergic, only gave her the carbo, and said they will start an alternative for the taxol next round.
From what I have read it seems the replacement will either be Abraxane or Taxotere. Anyone have any experience with this?

I to reacted to Taxal, and I did IPT treatments only which is only 5% chemo. Horrible chest pressure, flushing, and super sharp jabbing in my back. My nurses were great and with in the first 30 seconds or less the fed the Benadryl in the line and it subsided immensely. A week later got the 5% Insulin potentiation treatment this time with the Carboplatin and did fine for my five treatments. treatment. It’s quite scary for my first time, and made me question the CP
