The good,the bad and the ugly of Taxol

Hi Al Thanks so much for your reply. Sounds like I am having nearly the same treatment as you. My cancers were oestrogen positive... I Havnt heard my oncologist mention herceptin... If you don't mind me asking did you have a lumpectomy or masectomy. I had a bilateral masectomy as I had ductal, lobular and one other type of cancer in each breast. Can't remember the other type. I had a choice at first to attempt a lumpectomy on one breast but it had 3 cancers and I thought both off was the way to go. My surgeon agreed with me but still allowed me to make my own decision. I feel much better about Thursday chemo... Still anxious... Had heard so much negative stuff about taxol... Still uptight about having a reaction when it's administered... It's worried me from day one. I try not to worry but my bc was diagnosed after I had a dream one night telling me to have a mammogram... I had no lumps or bumps... Just a strong feeling to follow my dream... Thanks again for your reply Mel :)
