Hi - I've been reading recently that the taxane drugs might not be as effective as once thought; and that if you need to stop them due to a bad reaction, it's not devastating... Please read about Abraxane on their Web site. While they would obviously want to blow their own horn, the site does include some interesting information comparing it to Taxol. And there are other trials where it's seemed superior to Taxotere. Hope this helps - good luck. PJH
