My onc called today to say that the first infusion I had of Docetaxel was given correctly but I had a reaction anyway. I was not given benadryl before it was administered because it isn't given with this specific drug, but would be with other 'taxanes' because that is the protocol for them.

She said she wants to try another taxane. Have any of you had a reaction like this specifically to a taxane but been able to take another taxane without problems?

She said if I can't handle taxanes after this try then we would have to switch to the AC.

Please, I'd like to hear from ladies who have had this happen but were able to take other taxanes with no problem.

Thanks so much,
Diannes
