Becky, you mentioned that for all her2+ breast cancers, even those who are stage I and node negative, you would recommend taxol. I am stage I and node negative, er/pr negative, my tumor was 1.4 cm and I received two opinions from two highly regarded oncs in Chicago and both said no to taxol. I pressed this issue heavily with both of the oncs and they stood their ground on not to do taxol along with the herceptin. I completed 4 rounds of AC and started herceptin 6 weeks ago..once every 3 weeks. Do you think I should press the taxol issue further and if so why?
