I had A/c every 2 weeks. Is that dose dense? Then I had Taxol every two weeks. Total of 8 treatments over a 16 week period. Then surgery. Started Herceptin after radiation. Get Herceptin every 3 weeks.

I find it interesting that some people get Herceptin and Taxol together. This option was never mentioned to me.
