Hi Nancy
You may not have much confidence in your oncologist, but she seems to have made the right call on giving you Herceptin. In an ideal world, it may should be given with Taxol/Taxotere, but since you have already had Taxol, I don't know if that is an option. I don't know why she has only suggested 6 doses, or did I read you wrong? Would that be every three weeks?
If I were you I would take what is offered and try for a longer length of time on Herceptin. The side effects shouldn't be too, much. Read this board to see other people's expereinces. I start Herceptin and Taxotere, Monday. I am not even sure how long I will be getting it but feel lucky to be able to get it at all as I am a Stage 1, .9mm tumor and my first oncologist would not give it to me, or would only do so---If, If, If---well, he made it impossible. You will see that I have posted questions on it in the past couple of days.
Wishing you the best,
Janet
