Hi Lily,
I know the "smart sisters" will chime in later. You've already
received some good advice from Sheila.
I agree that there are other taxanes that you
can try if your onc doesn't want you back on taxotere.... but I
am really questioning if this is the right oncologist for you.
If you don't feel like your onc is fighting for you then it's
time to find another one.
Compared to all the crap we go through, suppressing estrogen
is easy. This makes no sense to me that you are ER+ and not
doing anything about it.
I hope you can find someone to go to your next appointment
with you. It always helps to have another set of ears there.
Good luck Lily. I know the "propellerheads" will have lots of
good advice for you.
