Chelee;

I am stage 3C and also had 4 AC and 4 Taxol, etc. One problem that has developed for me however is that the combination of one of the AC drugs combined with the later effects of the herceptin has caused me to have heart problems and I have been taken off herceptin.

Perhaps if I had had your treatment instead I would still be on herceptin. I don't know but I do know that it wasn't discovered that I was her2+ until into my taxol treatments. Perhaps this is why your treatment is this way?
