Kathy, I didn't do taxotere, but I've heard that weekly the side effects aren't as strong, but they accumulate over time. And every three weeks, there are initially strong side effects, but then they diminish (although they, too, accumulate over time).
Please read the answer to a similar question.
Can anyone whose taken taxotere one way or the other help Kathy with this decision? Thanks - PJH

Hi Kathy
I'm currently on Taxotere - (3 weekly) x 4 cycles, after 4 cycles of AC.
The Taxotere side effects were MUCH LESS INTENSIVE than the AC side
effects, for me. My hair had started growing after the AC and is still growing,
although some of it is falling out, but a little bit, so no bald patches.
I'm having my 3rd Taxotere on Monday and last one on 4 th January, so
if you want to know anything more, I'll check the site or my email address is audreyw@lantic.net.
