I have just had a mastectomy and reconstruction, this is my third week from surgery. I have neg margins, neg lymph nodes, HER2 +, ER+, and the chemo routine they are going to start in 3 wks is Taxotere & Carboplatin, every 3 wks for 18 wks, and Herceptin for a year every 3 wks.

Has anyone here taken these drugs? These are instead of the AD & CH combo deal. What are the side effects of Herceptin ?

thanks for the info
