I've not had any trouble with the carbo or herceptin, but during my last 2 treatments I have had bad reactions to the taxotere. What they have done is give me extra dexatron, and slow the infusion way down. It takes me over two hours to get it. I still have a bit of unpleasant side effects, but it's tolerable, and I don't stop breathing and feel like I'm having a heart attack. Like Bill said, maybe your doc can do something like that for you.
I wish you all the best,
Doug
