Congratulations!
I turned down AC but did do Taxotere/Herceptin as soon as I could get it, which was about a year after diagnosis. I am now three years out and NED. So far so good. I know we all wonder about our choices and can only try to make those that seem right for ourselves. I do seem to be still experiencing, "chemo brain". Could be from current stress but I often feel as cloudy as I did on steroids and Taxotere. Perhaps less drugs would have been better? No one knows.
