You better believe the infusion reactions can be serious, despite what any medical literature may be leading you to believe. My father went into anaphylaxis within minutes of his Taxol infusion. My family was kicked out of the treatment room while six medical workers stabilized him over the course of an afternoon.

My reaction wasn't as severe but I had a taxol based reaction as well. It's a barrel of fun, luckily mine was treatable with Benadryl. I don't envy you or your father.
