Anyone have to quit neoadjuvent chemo bc of side effects?

My oncologist said the other day if the side effects get worse that it's possible we stop treatment and move on to surgery.

I've already done my a/c and after tomorrow I will only have 6 of 12 taxol/perjeta/herceptin treatments left.

I almost wish she would not have said that because I never realized it was an option and now it's all I can think about!!

Damn taxol! If it were not for the rash and constant itching I might could keep going but it's making me loose my mind!! I think they lump all this in with the neuropathy. They shouldn't. This is not lose of sensation or tingling. Insert angry face. I can deal with the other side effects.

Scares me not to finish and I think that would remove any grey area and any choice of not having radiation.

I read all your signatures (which I had yet to figure out) and it seems like everyone was Abel to press on and finish treatments. I guess I just need to suck it up like everyone else. I was all set to press on till she said that. Now I'm like a dog with a bone!!!
