Taxotere?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

We found out yesturday that my mom will start chemo soon, maybe this

friday or early next week pending insurance approval.

Taxotere is what they prescribed. Can someone share how this drug side

affects are?

She has stage 4 spread to the liver.

She is ER+/PR+ and HER2 negative.

Any comments on the drug choice? The doctor mentioned he didn't want

to do the hormone helping pills until after he figured out if the chemo

was helping? THat if he gave her both, and then if the cancer shrinked

he woudln't know which had helped? I get the logic behind that but, sh

has 3 spots 3,7,9.5 cm, i'm just worried and confused with all this new

cancer terms and what if it doesn't help?

Thanks,

Connie
