I actually had bilateral masts for a 7mm tumor so I did not need radiation. As for the taxol I was told that it would only be of 1% benefit to me. I am hoping and praying that that is the case. As for Herceptin, I have been on it since Dec and it has been very tolerable. I do currently have headaches though around the second week after infusion. Otherwise nothing besides weight gain. Can't tell if that is herceptin or I am just a pig. I have been trying to gain weight for diep, so I have not watched what I eat, other than making sure I am making good choices with food.

The AC gave me some weight gain as well, nausea, low counts, fatigue, terrible headaches, all the usual listed. I was lucky not to get mouth sores and such. I did have a very bad round with number 3 and almost did not go back. But am glad I did.

What did you onc say about taxol?
