I am Stage 1. I had a rough time with AC too. Funny thing...I was afraid of the Taxol and Herceptin and thought AC would be tolerable. The opposite happened. I feel tired for a day or two after Herceptin. Also get a mild headache for a day or two. I had a drop in my MUGA, but am still taking Herceptin. Oncologists don't Herceptin unless MUGA drops below 50, and I have 9 points to go. It's a good drug. A very good drug. I told my oncologist I have very high expectations -- I expect a cure. He laughed and said I'm not being unreasonable.
