I had the exact treatment at University of Chicago 5 years ago.

Nothing really to induction as I recall. Just two IV's on Thursdays. Took about 4 hours. I did not get sick but my hair fell out. I had a bad reaction to the Taxol as well. I remember being upset because they were talking about stopping induction and I really wanted to go all the way through if you know what I mean.

Anyway they gave me steroids and the reactions stopped. So, it all worked out.

Overall, the treatment was a little on the rough side towards the end, but a small price to pay for 5 more years with my wife and kids:)

Good luck. Fight Fight Fight.

Drop me a line if you need anything.
