HI Michelle,

I was on Taxol and knows that different from taxotere but in the same family. I handled the taxol pretty well. Only some leg aches initially and then they put me on neurontin 5 days before a chemo treatment and it helped. Other than that I handled taxol fine and functioned quite normally.

Hope taxotere treats you kindly.
