I had A/C then taxol weekly with herceptin. The phenergan invariably knocked me asleep almost but only usually for an hour or so. My main side effect was neuropathy, particularly in my feet. I had no nausea or stomach problems but lost my taste buds (they came back pretty fast after I finished taxol). No fatigue. My neuropathy got worse as treatments went on. But everything else was about the same. I worked through, and my feet never got too bad. I seem to have been pretty symptom free on herceptin, so once taxol was over I felt pretty good! My hair started growing back too before I finished taxol, which was a really nice surprise! Everyone's experiences are somewhat different, it's heartening to know that your own experinces are "normal" but it's really hard to anticipate what will happen. Take each treatment as it comes, do what you need and don't make too many comparisons. Each treatment is one less to face and one step nearer no more treatment. Exercise and fresh air is good medicine for lots of things. Best wishes.
