I have now had two cycles of Paclitaxel and had an allergic reaction to both. The second reaction was definitely worse than the first and included flushing, tightness of the chest, sweating, etc.
It was treated very quickly and after oxygen, more steroids and antihistamines everything was fine.
I am now somewhat apprehensive about the next cycle, will preventative treatment automatically be given or should I speak to my oncologist.
My nurse on the Chemo unit said she would discuss my medication with Doctor but I am still concerned.
