Hi Brony
I live in Canberra and started on the Tykerb/Xeloda EAP with Dr Jodi Lynch at Sutherland Hospital in Feb.
I did Taxotere/Herceptin from July til Jan this year. I had the Taxotere weekly and didn't have a problem with it, just a few small side effects and also didn't lose my hair, although it thinned quite a bit. But it stopped working for my liver. I was really against chemo but ended up not having a choice as I don't think I would be here now without it. If you do end up have Taxotere push for weekly as it is less toxic.
Have you spoken to Dr Lynch's office (or the other Dr in Sydney whose name escapes me at the moment, from Nth Sydney I think) about the requirements for the EAP?
Sorry, not much help. My Canberra onc suggested Tykerb and contacted Dr Lynch.
