docetaxel vs. taxol

[valleygirl]

started docetaxel, Herceptin and pertuzumab on Aug. 1st because of lung mets. Have never been this sick and the body pain is horrible not to mention the diarrhea and sore mouth. If I stay like this not sure how I'll be able to stay at work. I didn't have many issues while on taxol. I'm wondering what the difference between the two are. I'm wondering if I can ask for taxol instead. Is docetaxel the choice for lung mets? thanks for any insight. can't afford not to work.
