    Some people get an allergic reaction to Taxol.

    I was on Taxol so I really can't help with the Taxotere. I'm just bumping this up for you...

    Hi, Sunshine, I had 6 tx of Taxotere in combination with Adriamycin and Cytoxin. I did fine with it. The premeds probably helped a lot preventing any allergic reactions though. I had doses of decadron, Emend and Benadryl before each tx and decadron and Emend 2 days after. Hope this helps. Good luck.
