I am currently on a Taxotere / Herceptin "cocktail". I have completed 3 sessions and am scheduled for my 4th session next week. (3 week schedule)

I have found the side effects to be very manageable.

Of course, hair loss. I have about 20% of my original volume.

I too take the Chemo on Thursday and have energy on Friday. I find that Sunday is my lowest energy day. By going to bed early on Sunday I am able to function at work on Monday.

My mouth seems to want to break out in sores but by using Tom's natural tooth paste and rinsing with baking soda, I haven't had a sore break through.

All in all....my experience with Taxotere has not been bad.
