Dear KB27, Overall in situations of lymph node positive breast cancer there has been some early data to suggest that AC chemotherapy followed by paclitaxel is superior to AC alone.  However the data from the studies needs to be interpreted in terms of your individual situation.  Discussion with your oncologist about the risks and benefits to adding paclitaxel as they apply to your individual situation is an important discussion to have.
