I will go back to stay with her for her treatment and for the week after. We don't know yet, based on the first treatment, if she can expect each to go as the first one did. She is trying to think of the treatment regimen in stages. Surgeries were first, this chemo combo is second, another chemo combo third, radiation is fourth and then just herceptin is fifth. It seems a bit more "doable" to think that she will be half way through this segment after Friday's treatment.

She had her head shaved recently and seems to be coping with that loss pretty well....has a couple of wigs, many scarves, some "bangs" and ball caps. I haven't seen her without her hair yet.

For those of you had AC and then taxol with herceptin:
Did you tolerate one regimen better than the other? Probably a simplistic question....I suppose there are differrent side effects for each and they can't really be compared?

We thank you so much for your kindness in reading and responding to my posts. It's such a relief to have a "safe" place to ask and vent.

God bless you all.
