Yes, it is safe to have taxol and H on the same day. I actually had T and H together for 12 weeks and was fine as long as they ran each one separately and slowly. Otherwise, I had horrible heartburn, a metallic taste in my mouth, and nausea
The only side fx I've had from H is still the metallic taste in my mouth if ran too quickly and I have kept a sinus infection since I started it. I have a dry cough i never had before and my blood pressure still hasn't returned to pre-cancer normal, but my heart is fine. I am sure there are others who've experienced different side effects, though.
As far as surgery, I have read that it is completely safe and being on H during surgery is an added benefit because if there are other cancer cells that get "activated" or stirred up during surgery, H will target these.
It's always scary starting new meds, never knowing what to expect, so I wish you the best of luck!!
