Hi, Welthy,
I have been on herceptin/taxol for almost 2 years now and taxol is the first chemo to keep my counts normal, but after the first year, I have started to have side effe cts, like itching right aftrer treatment. I lost my hair, and there are taste issues with food and drinks, of course I am on the dreaded decodron and it actually cause more side effects than the chemo but my onco has lowered it to the lowest.
I am node positive and on Herceptin once every week and taxol is given on the 3 on and 1 week off protocol.
Hope this treatment is good for you,
hugs,
kathy
