I did weekly Taxotere, Carboplaten and Herceptin. I did not loose all my hair - it thinned and I wore "newsie" type hats. No one knew. I had IV benadryl and Decadron along with Ativan and Zorfan as pre med's. I only did the Decadron on the day of treatment. I needed a gallon of ice cream (or anything that didn't move) and Ambien to combat the Decadron on the treatment night. Day 2 was fine for me, but day 3 was "leave me alone" day. I took lots of Zorfan, drank ginger ale and ate black licorice. After that, I felt pretty good. I did this regimen for over a year and felt better as time went on. Good luck and God bless...Maryann
