Chelee,
I also was dx with stage 3 very aggressive. I had 35 postive nodes. I am 2 1/2 years out and doing well. Did AC then Taxol then Herceptin for a year like my dear friend Audrey. We met on this website and have flown to different parts of the country to meet eachother. she also saved me!! Her story was the one i held onto very tight through tx. It really is not that bad. I only threw up once, i'm i vomited just at the sight of food with my kids!! Hang in there. I really don't remember much of it now, so it can't be that bad!! Taxol and Taxotere are bacisally the same drug. There has been some studies on Maitake mushrooms and Herceptin use. Go to
www.maitake.com and you can buy the tablets there. I still take them. I take 2 a day. THERE IS LIFE AFTER BREAST CANCER !!!!!!!!!!!!
