The last time this happened the Taxol failed me. I did get a nice long run out of Taxol twice but I am so afraid that the Taxotere is going to also fail. Over the past year all the treatments I have been on lasted only four months tops. I really don't have many more options and I am so scared maybe I am over reacting but it has been on my mind so much lately. I see the Doctor on Monday and get the bloodwork results, I am due in January for another Ct Scan. Has anyone here had there hair grow back and still responed to there treatment? Thanks for letting me vent I love you all with all my heart even though we have never met, you all mean the world to me just like you are my family. Oh YEAH YOU ARE MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS! Thanks again!
