DianneS,
I am wondering too why the taxotere wasn't given before the Herceptin. I took steroids (Decadron) in pill form the day before treatment, the day of and the day after. At the chemo session I was given Aloxi for nausea, more decadron and then Taxotere, Carboplatin and last Herceptin. The first session was very long as they gave each drug very slowly. After that they could speed it up. My face would be flushed after treatment. I called it my Taxotere Tan.
Good Luck and best wishes.
