I started the 3 week regimen on 8/18, other than being tired while receiving it due to the Benadryl and a little tired the next day, I feel fine. No reason was given to me, just that "this is what I propose". I was dx on 2/1/05, partial mastectomy 2/8/05, 6 rounds of dose dense Taxotere, Epirubicin and Cytoxan ending 5/18/05, 33 rads ending 8/1/05 and now a year of Herceptin every 3 weeks. To me the 3 weeks will be more convenient as I am a single mother with a 4 yo son (his father is in time out), my father passed away the day before my 3rd chemo and I am still working on settling his estate and cleaning out his properties which are 100 miles from here (I am an only child, but his lady friend...who had breast cancer 3 times and is a 13 yr survivor and my aunt are a HUGE support) and my 73 yo mother who lives with me is ill and I am running her to doctor appointments trying to get her dx and better as well as work full time as an underwriter for Zurich insurance (thank GOD, they have been awesome through this whole thing). MY philosophy...It could always be worse:)
