I read an article which syas if Taxol is given as Neoadjuvant, it releases more cancer cells into the blood and causes metastasis(sp?) later. I am realy worried by this info as I took Taxol neoadjuvantly. Did anybody take Taxol like this? and please let me know how you are doing now?

thanks,
Julie
