Hi, Welthy,

I did the 12 weeks of Taxol and Herceptin. I just finished the year course of Herceptin.
I had a mastectomy after the 12 week course--just 12 days later--and the pathology report came back clean! So it obviously did the job!
I didn't feel any side effects, except for a little tired and run down--until the 9th week. Then I began to feel the tingling in my fingers and toes, and some joint pain. But, since it did the job, I took it with a grain of a salt. Small price to pay to get rid of the tumor!
All the best, and hoping for your complete recovery!
