Hi Welthy,
I was given Taxol and herceptin weekly for 12 weeks and then FEC+Herceptin for 12 weeks, followed by some more rigorous treatment plan because of my stage (IIIB).
My first 3 months on Taxol and herceptin were quite easy. In fact, I hardly experienced any fatigue. I had mild bone pain due to the decadron (steroid) but they reduced the decadron which helped right away.
All the best to you
