Allergic Reaction to Taxanes?

Anonymous

This is my second rodeo on a taxane. I'm in the middle of three cycles of TPI 287, which is an investigational drug. Two years ago, I had 12 cycles of Taxol. Both times it seems to be causing an itchy throat. I'm coughing constantly, but the cough is coming from my throat and not my lungs. And I'm always sipping water to soothe the itch. Anyway, a minor annoyance in the grand scheme of things but I was curious as to if anyone else had similar issues with Taxanes...
