Allergic Reaction
Taxotere..... even its name sounds evil. Chemo #1 saw me Febrile and nuetropaenic, #2 wasn't too bad except for the mouth ulcers and reflux but here I am on day 9 since round 3 and I am in a bad way. ...

Just a warm salt bath can't hurt-might help. What you describe is angioedema. I had it once,welts joined up, my lips got bigger and my throat felt scratchy. I got pumped at hospital with adrenaline and hydro cortisone and it subsided quickly. It's kinda like a slow allergic reaction- I think mine was a build up of aspirin at the time. Go straight to hospital if your lips/tongue swell up.You poor thing- bad enough having the taxotere side effects let alone a reaction.Hope you are feeling better real soon.
