Comment 1Hi Barbara, I haven't been on Abraxane, but I have been on Carboplatin. My first chemo "cocktail" was Adriamycin/Cytoxin & Taxol. My second go around was Gemzar/Carboplatin. On every other treatment I would have Carboplatin alone. My main side effect was a dip in my blood counts & weakness. I had very mild nausea, constipation, & sometimes a metallic taste in my mouth (Carboplatin is a platinum based drug). I lost my hair with my previous treatment of Adriamycin/ Cytoxin & Taxol. But what little I had grown back did not fall out with Gemzar/Carboplatin. :). You might ask your Oncologist about that. I hope this helps. :)

Taxols are known to cause allergic reactions/ they should be giving you Benadryl as a pre- med/ I also take Zyrtec before infusions as a rule due to my allergies/ hope this helps

I also was administered benadryl before my Taxol treatments. It's not the meds but something in the ingredient they use to mix it that can cause an allergic reaction.
