Question question on Taxol treatments

I have a question about Taxol. My oncologist opted for 12 weekly taxol treatments at the last minute instead of 4 (one every two weeks). Having a hard time understanding why exactly. Has anyone else had this treatment or does anyone know of the benefits/disadvantages of this? Is it any more or less effective?
