My 56 year old just had a lumpectomy and have gone to 4 different oncologists in an effort to understand the treatment options. Each oncologist has a different opinion:
(1) FEC 3 cycles +
Taxotere 3 treatments
(2) FEC 4 cycles + 12
Taxol (this doc said
Taxotere is not good for Asian patients because of a lack of certain enzyme)
(3) FEC 4 cycles + 12
Taxol
(4) AC 4 cycles + 12
Taxol
Can you advise if
Taxotere is indeed bad for Asian patients? Also please advise why the difference in the number of cycles and number of treatments?
