I agree with Cheryl. If you do have to have chemo, it will probably be Taxol along with the Hercpetin. I am on treatment #7 out of 12 and am doing quite well. Minimum side effects, little achy, runing nose and tired, but I have not missed a day of work except for treatment afternoon. I was node positive, so I did the A/C first. That wasn't too fun, but got through just fine.
Good luck, you will get through it and it will go fast. I can't believe 6 months have gone by for me already.
