Taxol or no Taxol

I have posted this before but I didn't get any response may be because it is a personal choice. But I would like to get some opinions from anybody's experience.

I have been on Navelbine for my recurrence to chest lymphnodes and some suspecious nodes in lungs. I got a CT of the chest after three weeks of Navelbine+Herceptin, all the prevous nodes disppeared leaving only a 4mm node in the lung. I am in my 5th week of N+H now. Onc's idea is to continue N+H for 4 more weeks and do a PET/CT of the body and if everything is resolved then stop Navlebine.

Now I am thinking may be I should get one more week of Navelbine and get atleast 3 weeks of Taxol+Herceptin before the scan. How does this idea sound? The reason behind this is that I didn't hear of anybody who took Navelbine as a first course and be on a long remission, I am seeing people on this board who achieved long remission with Taxol or Taxotere.

Any suggestions please

Thanks,
Julie
