Hi HER2 family,

Does anyone know what the difference is between Taxol and 5FU. Outside of one other of us (I think it is Alaska Angel) I have not read about anyone receiving this treatment except me. I notice that most received C/A and Taxol. I received C/A (Cytoxin and Adrimycin) with something called 5FU. I had 6tx once every 3 weeks. I am now receiving Herceptin every 3 weeks and taking Arimidex. Just wondering if anyone has an insight on this.

Sincerely,

Liz J.
