Oh Laurie I'm so sorry and was watching out for your update but obviously hoping for good news for you. I also just passed the five year mark so can understand how this news must be awful for you.
From what I've read, the power port from Bard seems to be the best as you can use it for nuclear scans too (assuming someone there can access it!!!)
I had taxol rather than taxotere but both are similar I think, my hair grew back on it but I lost my nails and eye brows and over all it was very tolerable. I had no nausea and needed no meds or neulasta even, hope this drug shows a good response for you and the side effects are minimal. I think the main one to look out for is neuropathy, but they can give you something for that if it happens.
I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and wishing you well, good luck and keep us posted
