reaction to paclitaxel on second dose

Hi Everyone, 
Has anyone suffered a hypersensitive reaction to Paclitaxel on their second infusion? I did today and it floored me!
I know they are going to give me a lot more pre chemo medication through my port before they start the chemo next time ( steroids and antihistamines) but I am still wary as I have two more treatments to go.
Any info or examples of others experiences would be helpful
Thanks

    I didn’t have a reaction myself but was sitting next to someone in day oncology who did. She naturally found it very frightening and disturbing. Staff were with her immediately and took very good care of her. I am sure they will monitor you very closely for your remaining treatments. Best wishes.
