Hi, Eric,
Taxotere/Herceptin is a very good combo, and I am glad Caryn will get Herceptin again. I had this combo for 6 months and it was pretty easy on me. I did not feel tired, I had much more energy than I have now with Nalvabine, and I did not lose my taste. But my hair did not grew back while on it, and my big toe nails both fell off. My finger nails got pretty bad, and I thought they would fall off too, because they were all half way loose, but I used tree tea oil on them, and they got back to normal. I used to bring a plastic bag with ice to the infusion room to put my fingers in it, because I read it helped the nails not to fall off, but it did not help me though.
I have tingling and numbness in my hands and feet, and my legs feel heavy sometimes. My doctor says that it is from Taxotere, but I think it is from Nalvabine.
I was very disappointed when my doctor decided to change from Taxotere to Nalvabine, because it was very doable, and it was every 3 weeks.
I hope and pray that this combo will take Caryn to NEDland.
KarlaV.
