I am on herceptin/taxol every week for three weeks and then one week off. I have been on this regime since July and if my body holds up I will be on it for three to four more months. So far the main side effects have been bloody mucous, fatigue and a little pain in my forefinger of my left hand. That seems to have gone away. I was afraid that I was developing neuropathy but if I was I don't think it would have gone away so quickly. I do have some stomach discomfort. I get a "caustic" feeling in my stomach sometimes and I feel full quickly but I am maintaining my weight. I have not had a muga scan. I asked the doctor about it and he said unless I had a pre-existing heart problem I didn't need it.
