I experienced an allergic reaction to Taxol during my first attempt at Chemo. I will now receive a substitute drug, I can't remember the name. Has anyone else received a substitute after being allergic to Taxol? My dr says I should not lose my hair with this new drug. He also says it will be just as effective, it just is not the number one choice as there have not been as many people using it as Taxol, so there's not as much data supporting the use.
Also, I'm not allergic to anything else so this was very surprising. Does anyone else with an allergy to Taxol have any other allergies? Just curious.
