First Taxol a week ago: Now I have a horrible rash on my arms

Hi Curlysue-

Yes I developed a rash.  I did dense dose AC+T with the Neulasta shot after each chemo round.  The rash would appear about 5 days after each chemo treatment.  Then would disappear after my next treatment, then reappear about 5 days later.  Finally my MO and I figured out that I was having a reaction to something in the Neulasta shot because I skipped the shot with one of my chemo rounds because my counts were almost too high and surprise... no rash.  When I took the shot again the rash returned like clock work 5 days later.  My MO had me to take Claritin from that point on after I gave myself the shot and that controlled it until I was all the way through chemo treatments.  My MO thinks the steriods I was receiving with the chemo was clearing up the rash then would return after each Neulasta shot.  

You did not mention if you were geting the Neulasta shot, but thought I would share this just in case.

Curly sue I also had a rash from taxol, on my legs and later on my face. It was awful! My MO said it was from the taxol, and said to try over the counter rash treatments. They didn't work, but the rash did go away within a week.
