About the "bowling ball" issue: (hey, I like that nickname!)
I have taken Taxol before (neo-adjuvant), and found that I got mild side effects from weekly Taxol. But it did not cause any hair loss, in fact it was already starting to grow while I was on it, along with weekly Herceptin.
You are right, I have never heard of a combo of Herceptin & conventional chemo being administered for NED patients, unless in a trial. Your question is a good one!
