Shosh, Angi's right - we're not medical professionals. Your doctor's advice should supercede ours. However, if you're looking for an opinion, I believe the first regimen, with the taxol, would be more aggressive; with probably more side effects. You need to weigh the less aggressive/less side effects approach vs. more aggressive/more side effects treatment. Tough decision, but only you can make it. Ask your doctor if the Oncotype-DX test would be appropriate for you - it helps women understand just how effective chemo is likely to be for them. Best of luck - PJH
