I have to agree with KK1 (sorry, I don't know your name)....I was getting the weekly dose of Taxotere and tolerated it very well (except for day three, but I was prepared). When we tried something new and went for the 3 week regimen - it knocked me for a loop and I haven't been the same since (three weeks ago). Studies are showing that smaller doses over an extended period of time are working just as well if not better than the alternative...an most of all WE are handling it better. It may be more time spent in the oncology center, but it is less time spent in bed recovering...JMO
