Hi - I add my best wishes for your first treatment. I noticed that you are ER- and PR-, so this would mean you wouldn't be getting Tamoxifen as it is a hormone suppressor for ER/PR+ve cancer.
As it's been shown that Herceptin works better when used in conjunction with Taxol (or Taxotere), I have to think you'll be getting one of these (and they do cause hair loss, or at least lots of thining!)

Best Wishes
