Hi, I had the same treatment as your mother. I found the Taxol and Herceptin to be much more tolerable than the AC. My side effects for each:
A/C: Some nausea the first few days
Metallic taste in my mouth which affected how food tasted
Sense of smell was very strong
Hair loss on head
Aching in my bones
Felt like I had the flu
Mouth and Nose sores
Fatigue was by far the worst side effect for me.
Taxol:
No nausea
Tired the second day after the infusion but better the rest of the week
Lost all body hair
Neuropathy in my fingers, also in my feet and lower legs
Herceptin:
Nose sores
Neuropathy in hands and feet
Bone aches
My best wishes to you and your Mom, Sue
