    Lilly…..there are several postings in re: to TAXOL. You may find it when using the search function. Is it suggested with a combination of other agents?

    Hi – I have not been on Taxol, but I looked it up on the following web site:

    http://www.drugs.com/pro/taxol.html

    It seems to be mostly for ovarian and breast cancer. There is a warning about using it if bilirubin levels are elevated:

    “Hepatic
    There is limited evidence that the myelotoxicity of Taxol may be exacerbated in patients with serum total bilirubin >2 times ULN (see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY). Extreme caution should be exercised when administering Taxol to such patients, with dose reduction as recommended in DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, TABLE 17.”

    Hope this helps.
