Allergic reaction to chemo

Hi All, I'm interested to hear if anyone has had an allergic reaction to their an intravenous chemo infusion and how this affected their treatment plan? What symptoms did you experience? and did you continue to try another chemo treatment? Thanks in advance 🙂

    Have you had more than one allergic reaction?  Make sure your Onc knows .... 

    Hubby had one allergic reaction to the first dose of his 2nd lot of chemo .... he became very itchy & redness showed around his throat .... The chemo nurses stopped the infusion & monitored him for 40 mins, before continuing without any problems.  

    take care & all the best.
