Hi Tracy,
so sorry you're back in this club... no one needs this. Not sure whetehr you heard back on your question elsewhere, but I had 6 cycles of Taxotere, Herceptin and Perjeta (at I believe 80% for the latter 3 cycles). Since then I am on H+P only - so far stable. Scans coming up next week, though... We'll see what that brings.

Maybe ask for a dose reduction if it's really bad? My onc back then said it's approximation anyway, and going down to 80% will not influence the outcome of treatment...

Hope you're making it thru Taxotere ok...
