Okay, so now I am good and confused about should I have taxol or not! My onc says no, some of you say yes and some say no. Some studies say yes and some say no. I want to do what is best for my particular case. My onc says no taxol since I am stage ! and no nodes. Guess I will just have to have faith in him and trust he is doing what is best for me because there are too many conflicting answers I am getting. What scares me though is that one minute you can be stage ! and then like Sheila, she became stage IV in a matter of a year I think it was. Oh boy, this disease really frightens the you know what out of me. As much as I love this forum, and I do love it, sometimes too much reading on here can really scare you. There just isn't enough good stories on here to balance out the bad ones.
