I was stage 2 er/pr neg and her2 +++. I did neoadjuvant chemo 4 AC's every 3 weeks, then 12 weekly Taxol + Herceptin. Completed Taxol in August of '06. I am continuing weekly herceptin, for a total of 1 year, just completed #33. All of my Muga scans have been great. I briefly stopped herceptin for 3 weeks after I had my lumpectomy in mid August.
Minimal side effects - dry skin - cracks on fingers, some vision changes. I don't have any other side that can't also be contributed to chemo.
