I had the same reaction on my second round of Taxotere. The also stopped the infusion and gave me more Benadryl and saline. About 30 mins later they started it again but only at a slower pace, and I was fine after that. On the next treatments they slowed the infusion down and I never had another reaction. I know that is a real scary feeling when it happens and I'm sorry that you had to go through it. The bright side is that you might not have a reaction the next time!
I hope this helps and good luck to you!
