Hi Susan,

I bet if you go to a major cancer center and get an opinion on your treatment plan, your Onc would be much more likely to see the point of adding Taxol-- at Sloan, I'm 90% certain that you'd get Taxol with your treatment given your stage and node status. Seems like it is much easier to change an Onc's mind when another Onc gets involved.

Good luck,
Jen
