I am now on a weekly dose of Taxol® (paclitaxel). Are there any other weekly treatments I can go on if it stops working?
Many chemotherapy drugs are given weekly, and you could be a candidate for them if you have not previously received them. These include Navelbine® (vinorelbine tartrate), Gemzar® (gemcitabine), and weekly schedules of a different taxane, such as Abraxane® (NAB paclitaxel) or Taxotere® (docetaxel). However, it is important to point out that every drug is different, and there is no inherent magic in weekly delivery of therapy that applies to all drugs. You may have other options that do not need to be given this frequently that could be even more convenient for you.
