I received Taxotere the beginning of 2004. My first round they started it out at 50cc and then increased the flow. After about 5 minutes I had a severe reaction to it, difficulty breathing and a severe pain in the chest, the nurses pumped me full of meds to counteract the medication. It wasn't really the Taxotere but the delivery agent. I then developed burns on my hand. The second round of it they gave it to me piggyback with a bag of normal saline and ran it in over a 6 hour period. They thought it would be fine, however the next day I had a burn on my hand about 1 3/4" by 2 1/2" long. It burned from the inside out. I had blisters. My oncologist wanted to stop the Taxotere but I fought for it. They then put a pic line into me and delivered the last 4 rounds piggy back over a longer time. All I have left is the scars.
