Hi Julie,

I had taxol in an adjuvent setting. I had my pet/ct scan, MRI of both breasts and chest x-ray first to determine if cancer had spread. It had not. Then went on to having right breast and 2 sent. nodes removed. Four weeks later started dose dense chemo. 4 A/C followed by taxol and herceptin. Herceptin received every 3 weeks for 1 full year.

P.S. Does neoadjuvent mean chemo before surgery and adjuvent means after surgery, correct???????
