"I've been taking Taxol/Avastin for over 26 months. This is an amazing medicine to treat breast cancer. I have had 85 treatments without stopping. Side effects are nothing compared to the amount of treatments: hair loss, neuropathy, vision problems, nausea but not too much, teeth problems. But the most important thing is I'm still alive in Stage IV for 26 months under the same treatment. Thanks."

"I am a survivor of 23 years, had used Taxol before with all the usual side effects, and I am using it again, but the side effects are more enhanced and also a major burning in my mouth that cannot be corrected with anything."

"I've been on Taxol for 4 years for metastatic stage 4 breast cancer and they haven't seen the lump since 2012. I'm still on the drug every 3 weeks. So far I've had pneumonia twice, and I have chronic neuropathy in my hands and feet but I'm used to it. Otherwise, I've never been sick and I eat like a pig. Moreover, I'm still 'alive and kickin.' I do not plan to die anytime soon. Besides, my doctor being blessed by God, my faith in God is working as well. So forget the statistics. Have faith and 'keep it moving.' Taxol does work, it's the best. Good luck and God bless."
