I will next have 4 treatments of taxotere - once every 3 weeks. I have one more cycle of adriamycin and cytoxan. I am going to have the herceptin treatment alone -- after the surgery. I will have it for 52 weeks. My major problem now is my blood counts -- they drop so low. I get neulasta the day after chemo and procrit once a week. I'm suffering from sever fatigue but I guess I shouldn't complain since I have no nauseau. My doctor believes that a lumpectomy should be just effective as a masectomy but I am personally leaning toward a double masectomy. I have large, very dense breasts and had my mammograms every year. I discovered the lump and last year nothng showed up on the mammogram.
