Glad you are going to hit that nasty tumor with everything you've got.
DD probably means dose dense. Instead of getting 12 weekly taxol treatments you will get four triple doses. Some people get six double doses. Most of us here got dose dense chemo. It's very doable, and it supposedly hits the cancer harder.
