I had my first immunotherapy and chemo (Paclitaxel) session yesterday for breast cancer. Immunotherapy went fine but then about 30 mins into chemo i had a severe reaction with my bowels in agony so they had to stop. They have advised the consultant will contact me with a plan either trying a different kind or a way of carrying on but I'm nervous it will happen again. Has this happened to anyone else? Thank you.
