Hi Janet:

I know that Taxotere has proved to be effective in more women (I think the figure is something like 37%) than Taxol. Im almost sure that a weekly protocol is also more effective - if anything less taxing on the body...My mother went through weekly taxotere and herceptin and in 10 weeks her liver mets had decreased by about 60%...Hope that helps
