Allergic reaction to chemotherapy - docetaxel
Hi all, has anyone had an allergic reaction to docetaxel?
I’ve had 2 cycles so far. I’ve sailed through the first one, and the second one seemed to go well too. But after a week of the second, I went out, had a pizza.. and from then on I had absolutely horrible side effects. First, my scalp and throat became very itchy, next day I started having very painful sensations from my stomach up to my throat, like a burning sensation, or as if someone was strangling my throat. I also started having rashes all over my body, I ended up in emergency, where they gave me some strong steroids. From that I then developed a lot of bruises. Rashes almost diminished, but still have a painful throat, as if someone was holding it or strangling me.

Has anyone had this kind of reaction? I still don’t know if it’s from chemo, food or a combination of both.
