Taxotere treatment
Treatment with Taxotere affects patients differently. I personally had only slight side effects of tingling sensations down my one leg several months after receiving the chemo. It cleared up without any permanent sensory changes within several weeks. I am glad I was treated with Taxotere since it seems to be effective for aggressive type breast cancer. Herceptin for HER-2 + seems to now be standard treatment for newly diagnosed patients since it supposedly works best when given immediately after chemo. Best wishes to your mother. Be sure that she asks her oncologist for specific info on Taxotere & known side effects. Sheryl
