Hi Nefertari,Nefertari said:I get so confused with the names of the drugs. Is Taxol the same as paclitaxel or is that a totally different drug? I am not on any tablets as I am triple negative.

Yes Taxol is the same as paclitaxel. It's just the trade name.
We are also triple negative. Did you have Carboplatin as well as Taxol?
