I just started the same treatment you are having. Last Monday was my first treatment with Taxol & Carboplatin. I was at first given an anti-nausa chemical in the vein. They than took about two hours to deliver the cocktail. It did not burn going in plus I felt no side effects at all. They warned be I might get tired easy but today my son and I started landscapaing our new home.I worked all day.
The nurse told me you may or not lose your hair, it might just get thin for awhile.
I hope all goes well with your treatment. I pray you recover completely.
