My first treatment of Taxol was a loooong one.  I knew it would be longer than usual because they need to give it a little at a time to make sure there is no reaction to it.  I, however, managed to have one of my connectors in my IV come apart so part of my chemo went all over the floor, creating a little hazmat....ooops.  Chemo isn't premade.  They mix it up specifically for the patient at the time the patient arrives for treatment, so I had to get more specially made chemo - hence the delay.  I was at UCD Cancer Center from a little before 10am until 7:30pm....like I said...looooong time.  My reaction to the Chemo however has been pretty good.  I barely took the anti nausea meds, was off of them in about 2 days and didn't take nearly as much as with the first type of Chemo.  However, I was told I would have muscle aches at about the 3rd or 4th day after treatment, well, second day in my little finger and outer side of my right hand hurt like crazy.  I have some arthritis and can only say it was worse than when the weather changes.....ouch.  It seems to be getting better though and other than a little soreness -- which I don't know if it is from the treatments or from being a couch potato -- I am feeling pretty good.  I must say...I am beginning to miss hair -- heads get cold!!!
