First of all...
treatment plans are ALWAYS changing (I received 6 doses of TEC...taxotere, epirubicin and cytoxan...wasn't supposed to get Herceptin as I TOO was Stage 1, ER/PR-, weakly HER2+3.16...but at my 1st 3 month check up, my onc recommended it). Yes, you should do the Taxol as there is a synergy w/ Herceptin (I will look up and add to my post previous discussions). I don't know as I did ALL together, but many say the taxanes are easier than a/c. What your doctor has proposed IS the current protocol. Take care and God bless.
