Hello,
I'm here in Iceland and doing Taxotere and Herceptin weekly. The plan is six weeks, the three weeks off (to get the bone-marrow good), and again another six weeks. I asked my onc. because I knew that Taxotere had been given every three weeks. He said that it has shown that a weekly treatment with smaller doses gives the same result as four times strong combo every three weeks. The side-effects are less and I did my fifth time yesterday and I'm here at my desk in work today. I have mets in bones and a very small one in liver what we are trying to shoot down with this, because the Navelbine I was getting from aug.-des last year didn't do the job. Yesterday I asked my doctor to minimize the cortizon and I got 4 mg in stead of 8 mg. It made my daily life much easier because I haven't had any side effects of the drugs but I'm way to high with the other shit. Couldn't sleep, talked people dead and had to clean, redecorate and paint the house. I think my husband is more relieived.
