Hi Belle,

I had difficulty with swallowing while Taxotere, so I thought. However we found out is was really my throat closing up on me and found out this is not uncommon, an anaphylactic reaction. I described it as I felt like my supplements were getting stuck in my throat. Often times the oncologists will up the steroids to try and stop the reaction. However, sometimes one's body just can handle certain chemos. I would suggest you check with the doctor to make sure it's not her throat closing versus a swallowing issues. My allergy doctor said this can be a serious reaction and not ignore it. I wish you the best.
