On paclitaxel/carboplatin 6 cycle. First cycle went fine; tiredness, nausea, peripheral neuropathy, hair loss all within parameters. Next cycle came round and only 2 mins into the paclitaxel my whole body shut down. Was sent to resus, then i was on 24h monitoring. 

Im back in tomorrow for cycle 2 round two, just on carbo (obvs not touching pac after that). 

Bit nervous from it all. How'd yall deal with the worry. Anyone else have beyond expected response to their treatment?
