I'm not sure how they decide when to start the herceptin. I had 4 treatments of FAC and then 4 Taxol. I started the herceptin with the first taxol. The "A" in FAC is also one that can wreck your heart, so maybe it's not good to have Adria and Herceptin at the same time. Maybe someone else knows about the chemo/herceptin combo.
