Taxol, Herceptin

Hi Kath, thanks for replying. I also was not good for the first 10 days of AC and then came good. I haven't worked since I had surgery and will be off until I complete the Taxol and then the radiation therapy....I find the tiredness one of the biggest hurdles plus find I get short of breath very easily so can't do too much,

Had the first dose yesterday and overall it went well. Was very nervous about it all but my nurses were great at keeping me calm. I didn't sleep well last night but that's probably due to the high dose of steroids...today very sluggish but compared to how I felt the day after AC I feel good so that's a positive. Just gotta see how I go over the next few days and weeks. 

Thanks for letting me know about your experiences....it helps as it gives me an idea of what I can expect. My oncologist is good but sometimes I feel like he's not telling me the whole story. My nurses told me they don't want to overwhelm us with information but I'd rather know what could be ahead of me.

Glad to hear that your hair is growing back...what a lovely surprise. Good luck with your remaining two doses and hopefully everything goes well.
