MY reply...
Dianne, chemo regimens are ALWAYS changing...I did 6 rounds of TEC, Taxotere, Epirubicin and Cytoxan every 2 weeks and almost WASN'T going to get Herceptin, but the results for early stage came out the day of my last chemo and I was started on it every 3 wks for a year my first followup. Also, because I was done in 3 months mine was VERY hard and no, I only felt rotten the last 3 treatments, but I would "assume" that you are going to get Taxol/Taxotere, Cytoxan and maybe Epirubicin or some form or the latest replacement. Once you know your regimen, you may be able to compare to others, but understand that everyone responds to chemo differently. Good luck.):
