Help Please
My good friend, who is a HER2 sister was recently diagnosed with a reoccurance of her cancer. She was originally diagnosed 3-1/2 years ago and had a mastectomy but the cancer has come back in the remaining breast tissue. We have the same Oncologist, he is putting her on 5FU, Eprubicin, and Cyclosphosimade for 3 months, then doing Taxol and Herceptin for 3 months. I am not familiar with the first 3 drugs used or side effects. Have any of you been on them and how did you tolerate them, what can be expected...tks..sherryg683
