Anyone experience fevers, chills, body aches immediately after carbo/taxol? Has happened two weeks in a row, lasts for 36 hours then gone. My oncologist and I are stumped. TIA

This sounds like a frustrating pattern to navigate while managing your treatments. Many patients do experience various side effects from carboplatin and paclitaxel combinations, and the timing and duration you're describing could potentially be related to your treatment regimen. It's great that you're staying in close communication with your oncologist about these symptoms, and hopefully other community members who've had similar experiences with these medications can share what helped them or what their care teams discovered.
