Hi Schoolteacher, I am also a triple positive and in Georgia. I did not have chemo first. I had my mastectomy and then chemo. The Taxol and Herceptin was so much easier on me than the AC. My onc would not start me on Tamoxifin until I had completed the Taxol. I was on it only a few months though and choose to have my ovaries out so I could go on Arimidex. I also had radiation after the chemo. I hope the Taxol/Herceptin combo works well.
