Abraxane is a good drug. I will give a tip that there are recent studies that show it works better than Taxol or Taxotere but only if it is given on the weekly schedule. You might want to discuss this with your oncologist. Althought you want to get away from the cancer center, being NED keeps you away for good.

Love and a big hug to you dear Kate
