Paclitaxel

Hi after recently finishing 4x cycles of EC which have been awful at times I went today for my 1st of 4x cycles Paclitaxel. After only minutes of it being administered I started to feel very strange like I was drunk, couldn’t keep my eyes open, palpitations, restless legs, hot flashes. It was like an emergency room, lots of nurses appeared from nowhere, pulling a screen around me and I was told I was having a reaction to the chemo. Gave me fluids via my port an gradually things improved. So scary and my husband was in tears, they said that they wouldn’t continue with treatment today. I’ve found out it’s quite common for this to happen with this type of Paclitaxel ( they offer this first as it’s not as expensive) so now my treatment is suspended until they can get the go ahead to continue with another type (milky in appearance) was all I could remember. Nurse is contacting my consultant and will phone me. She also said I might have to have this in 3x weekly cycles. Feeling so sad that my treatment is going to be possibly extended, had 28th may ensconced in my mind as last chemo day. Hope I haven’t got long to wait for my new ( expensive) chemo to resume
