Oh yea, I forgot to answer the hair question. I was put on the once a week taxotere regimen, instead of the 3 week and it is at a lesser dose, so I did not lose all of my hair. I lost probably 2/3-3/4 of it. It is very thin and looks brittle. Originally, I was supposed to do the 3 week regimen of chemo, but when my doctor found liver mets, she put me on the 1 week regimen. She told me that on the 3 week regimen, I would have lost all of my hair. She told me before I started chemo, that on the 1 week regimen, I probably would not lose all of my hair. The hair loss started probably within about 2 weeks. Some of the women I do chemo with said that they lost all of their hair within 10 days. They were on the 3 week regimen.
I am glad to hear you are going on taxotere. My doctor really believes in the taxotere/herceptin combination. Good luck.
