@snowflake0731, paclitaxel (Taxol) is known to cause allergic reactions in some people. I'm tagging fellow members like @ccwill @markymarkfl @seathink @loula @elizm @jennkrumz, who can share their experiences and how the reaction was managed.

What did you learn from the oncologist? Will his dose be reduced or changed? Or was the reaction manageable with Benadryl?

Thank you for the follow up re taxol. His oncologist is switching his treatment to Folfox. It will be given via a pump connected to his port over three days. We are hoping this treatment will work. I will post how he does.
