Hi Sherry,
My understanding is Taxol and taxotere are part of the taxane drug family.
I did not get Taxol back in 2004; the onc didn't think it was necessary when he was balancing risks and benefits. I was not aware that you could get it after the fact. I had 1+ year lag time for getting Herceptin, but at least I got it. I see onc in 6 weeks and will ask his opinion now that the new info is out.
