Re: taxotere vs taxol
Dear CG,
Thank you Jackie for the info regarding the UT - San Antonio study. I never was certain why I received taxotere vs taxol.
CG....I did want you to know that I received the taxotere + herceptin combo. It did wonders for me and knocked back my stage IV liver met for over a year. I later went back on yet another form of the taxane "family" called Abraxane. The Abraxane worked wonders again.
So...it appears that the taxanes are very powerful against Her2+ cancer.
Wishing you a speedy and event free treatment. If you have any questions about the process or side effects feel free to ask away!!!
Best of luck....Lori
