I had taxotere/carboplatin combo once every three weeks with weekly Herceptin and finished it in December. The side effects that I can remember were hair loss, constipation, nausea 2 days after chemo and aches and pains on my joints. My premeds was decadron taken 1 day before, on the day and day after chemo. My RBC and WBC counts were low but usually go back up by the time I will have my chemo dose again.
I hope and pray that things will work out great for you.
