I had weekly rounds of carbo/taxol/herceptin for 9 weeks. The things I had trouble with was fatigue and my white count, occaisional constipation.Stool softeners and prunes helped with the constipation and I'm not a big fan of prunes.It also seemed to inflame the neuropothy that started with the A/C.
All in all it was easier than the A/C. I was in a study that gave this combo to patients before stage 4. I had it before surgery and at the time of surgery I had complete microscopic resolution.No cancer cells left! It may not work the same for every cancer but I think it is deffinately worth a try!
Good luck,let us know how you are doing
Alice
