I took that same "cocktail" beginning March 2005 and ending Aug 2005. Results were great. Did chemo first and when I had my surgery, there was less than 1 cm of tumor left which was removed (and surgeon got clean margins). I began with a whopper of a tumor!

Stayed on Herceptin Sept-Mar to complete a full year.

I am thrilled the rest of you had few side effects, but I had a totally different reaction. Was very sick and had no energy during treatment. But with such great results, it was definitely worth it.

I sit here today feeling good and will celebrate my 58th birthday next week. (Honestly didn't know if I'd make it when I got my diagnosis last year). NED!
