Hi !!! It's me!!! I'm back!!!!! I'm a non-paying member now.

I need your help again.
I need to know the pronunciation - once more! - of this drug (docetaxel). It's for a doctor who has to present a case in English. I said: 'Let me ask my buddies at Proz!'.

I hope I'm not opening Pandora's box again! :-))))

Docetaxel has been trademarked as Taxotere by Rhone-Poulenc Rorer as an investigational drug. Like paclitaxel, it prevents the mitotic spindle from being broken down by stabilizing the microtubule bundles, but clinical trials indicate it\'s about twice as effective as paclitaxel in doing so.

Do si taex el, the a in tax is pronounced as in tax and not as in barn
