Hi Sheila,
I have just finished Taxol today. I am glad that it is working so well for you. Apparently Taxol is one of the most efficient combos with Herceptin as it gives it a real BOOST!! I only had 6 cycles, (I think, I lose track....I started it on 12th March and final 2nd July) and I was fine until the end, when for the past ten days I have begun to have a sore mouth, not too much, but noticable. Look after yourself, thinking of you.
