Hi, and welcome! I've had Taxol and Herceptin, but not together. Sounds like your wife is getting cutting edge treatment for early stage, so congratulations on that.
She should do very well, if she's gotton through A/C already. That's the hard part. I had A/C followed by Taxol for first-line treatment, and Taxol seemed pretty easy compared to A/C. The main problem for me was neuropathy, which was managed with Neurontin and Tylenol. My hair didn't start growing back in until after I finished Taxol, though.
Herceptin side effects have been minimal for me, but the first few treatments gave me "flu like" symptoms of aches and pains, fever and tiredness. All of that settled down after a month or two, but feeling tired for a day or two has remained standard.
Hope some of the others who've had Taxol and Herceptin TOGETHER will post; sometimes on the weekends it's kind of "slow" on the board.
Again, welcome, and best wishes to your wife.
<3,
Lolly
