Hi Aussie Girl,

I have 3 more treatments (paclitaxel & Herceptin) and then, I will continue with only the Herceptin every 3 weeks. A friend also recommended using massage therapy. So far the pain in my fingertips and nailbeds is mild. I hope that I can complete the next 3 infusions without problems.

Good luck and many blessings,
JJ

I am going to start that same treatment . 12 weeks of taxol and something else + herceptin for 1 yr every 3 weeks. I had her2+ And Er + Pr+ no lymph node involvement. I had mast on left side. I have an expander that will have to wait now until after chemo. That in and of itself is uncomfortable.

I'm am very scared to start chemo and with all the bad stuff that can happen.
