I recall how my large tumor (about 6cm) shrunk so fast after I'd started on taxol & herceptin. It did the shrinkage much better than A/C alone. I couldn't take herceptin at the beginning of chemo, as it's noted that adriamycin could be hard on the heart. And you already know that herceptin is known for heart damage. Anyway, then at surgery, no tumor was found! I'm still continuing on herceptin though, due to the fact that I was 17 out of 18 nodes positive. Also, doctors say that most tumors shrink LESS than 50% of original size, so they were pleasantly shocked at my shrinkage rate.
