I had a robotic full modified hysterectomy in April which went well and I felt brilliant. My consultant called to say although they had removed all the cancer and the 13 lymph nodes that were also removed came back clear, I would need Adjuvant therapy. My treatment was to be 18 chemo sessions weekly over 18 weeks then 25 External beam radiotherapy followed by 4 sessions of Bracytherapy. I started Adjuvant chemo therapy on 3rd June where after 4 mins of Paclitaxel I encountered an anaphylactic reaction. Hot, dizzy, chest pains, swollen throat and face and extreme kidney pain (like a tens machine on full), I was given the drugs to bring me back to normal but suffered low heart beat and oxygen levels which caused me to be unconscious. The team were brilliant and very professional. I saw my Oncologist the following day who then put me on the synthetic version Docetaxel. I went for this infusion yesterday and again the same thing happened. I am due to see my oncologist on 21st June but am now worried that there wont be an alternative for me. Am I likely to be offered any other treatment or is there any other treatment? Im getting quite worried I wont be able to get treatment. Any advise would be welcome. Thank you
