It's pretty weird eh @Fletch?! I reacted to my first infusion. I was being watched like a hawk, the nurse literally standing over me and staring. She spotted it a fraction of a second before I opened my mouth to say my face felt weird. It doesn't sound as dramatic as yours but my gosh did that woman's hands and arms move very very fast. Two other nurses arrived very quickly as my chemo was switched off, flushed and then I was pumped full of phenergan & an antihistamine. And then like you, a very slow infusion. They said allergic reactions to taxotere aren't all that unusual.
From then onwards I had the (fabulous) phenergan & antihistamine before anything and so I spent most of chemo dozing and having very hallucenogenic 'dreams'. A very bizarre time of my life.
Hope there are no problems for your next two. Halfway sista! Big hig, K
