I'm on this clinical trial and will find out at some point soon what group I am to be in. There are three - one that gets 4 A/C and 12 Taxol and follow up only; one that gets 4 A/C, 12 Taxol with Herceptin and follow up; one that gets 4 A/C, 12 Taxol followed by a year of Herceptin. I am concerned about the Taxol. If I were not on the clinical trial, I would be getting the 4 A/C and 6.5 weeks of daily radiation. I have had 2 A/C treatments and have been lucky enough to have tiredness as my only side effect. I will also get the radiation on the trial. Do all of you think this clinical trial sounds like it is worth it? My cancer was 2 cms, ER/PR negative, HER2 positive, no node involvement. I am 66 years old and wonder if the trial is worth it for someone like me. My daughter thinks it is overkill. I really think the opinions of other cancer patients are the ones that count.
