Hi Jackie,

I am currently on taxotere, carbo and herceptin for stage 3C. I have not had any of the neuropathy or fingernail/toenail problems associated with taxotere. My biggest complaint is the fatigue. I have absolutely no energy for about a week after chemo. I am also having a lot of nausea, despite taking every anti-nausea med under the sun. My onc thinks it is the carbo. I also feel very strange in the head/brain after chemo. Not a stuffy head feeling, or disoriented, just odd.

Regarding taxol vs. taxotere, I believe that taxotere is more synergistic with the herceptin.

Good luck!
