weekly taxotere

[lindaw]

Hello
I am over my feeling sorry for myself and thinking about what I may have to do next. It may be weekly taxotere and herceptin. Can anyone who has done this please inform me of the side effets and effectiveness. I have had it before - pre surgery I had doxorubicin and doxetaxol( taxotere) 3 weekly and it shrunk my tumour heaps.
I am not good with steroids and got osteonecrosis in my legs last time which can be very bad. luckily it had only begun and it then corrected itself ( immediately stopped the steroids). I have been reading a bit and it seems you can avoid having the steroids on weekly chemo. I could probably have the iv steroids and give the tablets a miss.
I work full time and have done throughout my chemo ( 4 years almost) with a few sick days here and there.
I am hoping to continue that.
What do you think.?Thanks

love
Lindaw
