Hello Suzanne,
Please ask your doctor immediately if you can go on once a week. My oncologist put me on Taxol/Herceptin once a week rather than every 3 weeks saying in his notes that I would tolerate it better. Although it was annoying to go every week, I believe I had less bad side effects except for being tired for the entire 6 months and putting on 15 lbs.
Hope this helps.
health and happiness
sarah
ps remember you will get through this and then things will be better and easier.
