Anyone do Taxol, then Herceptin only? Stage 1
One onc recommends TCH and another one thinks just doing Taxol followed by Herceptin will do the job. The more I think about it, the more comfortable I feel with less chemo. I mean, who wants more chemo? Anyway I am borderline for even needing chemo, maybe this is a good compromise?
Any thoughts?
I wonder if the Taxol is instead of doing A/C because of heart concerns?
