Re: Does Herceptin cause sweating?
I took the same regimen, TCH. I just started Tamoxifen today and I'd like to know if anyone has problems with it, too. So far I feel nothing. How long does it take to kick in?

Cynthia - I hated the taxotere too; I had an allergic reaction every time. I did 5.5 sessions of that stuff and each time they had to mix up a different 'cocktail' to get my body to accept it. Fun stuff. My sessions were 10 hours long because they had to go so slow.
