Hi Jean,

I just had A/C. I seem to be in the minority, because most women seem to have ACT. My onc. said I could skip the Taxol because I was stage 1.

I have a port (very glad about it). I have echos every 3 months on the herceptin, as well as one before AC and one after AC before the Herceptin. My onc. didn't recommend an echo becfore the Herceptin, but I pushed for it just to make sure the AC hadn't done anthing to my heart.
