Faslodex and castor oil concerns

My mother has stage iv metastIc breast cancer. Her cancer is hormone positive and her2 positive. She has gone through aromatase inhibitor and she is currently taking tamoxifen. Whe tamoxifen stops working she may go on faslodex. But i'm concerned about the castor oil in it. Two years ago she did taxol, and she got a severe Allergic reaction to the castor oil in it. Is there a chance that she can get the faslodex? Is the intramuscolar route different than the iv route? Is there someone Who was allergic to taxol but managed to get faslodex anyway?

Thanks for your answers.
