TAXOTERE FOR SURE

He explained 'some' of the possible side affects, including the edema (swelling), so I will be taking Decadron for a total of 3 days instead of one.

TAXOTERE INSTEAD OF TAXOL?
My doc may be switching me Taxotere (don't know if I spelled ir correctly) instead of Taxol. Won't know for sure until I see him. It's my understanding (from his assistant), the because Taxol is primarily natural, people sometimes have allergic reactions to the preservatives in it. But Taxotere is the synthetic version and…
