I had both the Taxol and Taxotere along with the Herceptin. I was fortunate to get it out-of-protocol in the adjuvent setting but I think I was stage IV and not stage II b at time of dx based on all that was going on. I had wanted to have Taxotere originally because at the time studies suggested it had a greater effect with the Herceptin than the Taxol; however, my onc wouldn't give it to me--initially. I wound up having a horrible reaction to the Taxol though. I was given the choice to switch to Taxotere for the 2nd tx--not sure why I didn't but decided to try the Taxol again. Then I decided to switch. I would have like at least another round of Taxotere but onc wouldn't do it.
