Hi! I wasn't offered just CTH, A was also in that protocol. That was over a year ago, so maybe CTH is the new offering. I haven't seen any "stats" on CTH, just TCH (which is what I had).

I found TCH to be very doable, but then again, I didn't have anything else to compare it to. I have heard that Taxol is a bit harder on you, but once again--it can vary from person to person.

I hope that someone out there has some statistics on the comparison of CTH vs. TCH for you.

Take care,
