CMF is not that common, not at least in Finland. If someone is allergic to the solvent of Taxotere, they often try with Taxol. It's effective chemo too, "grandma" of taxanes.

Hi Donna

I was 42 when I received my chemos (3 x Taxotere + 3 x FEC) and my periods never stopped. I'm ER/PR -negative, so my premenopausal life continues as usual.
