Your decision

I would double check whether or not it is scientifically indicated based on the analysis of the cells in your tumor. I received the taxol family treatment when it was not indicated based on the studies of my cells (2003) because it is the "standard of care" treatment. Taxol was not the indicated best choice for me because the tumor was hormone negative according to friends who were pathologists that personally double checked all cell studies of my tumor. They had questioned the oncologist as to why it was being given to me. It was not needed, nor did it benefit me. Ask your oncologist to explain or find for you some very recent studies - medical journal articles out there that about how the taxol family alters the cancer cells within your body. I just read them about a week ago, but I cannot find them for you again. Good Luck
