hormone receptor status

My onc indicated that a good deal of the huge benefit in the clinical trials by taking a taxane was received by those who were hormone receptor negative or only weakly positive. So if you are hormone receptor positive it may be that adding a taxane is less beneficial to you and more harmful than helpful.
