AC then T+Herceptin then hold the T(axol)?

Assuming the Taxol is resumed this coming Friday, I will check the doses of the pre-meds.

[The more I think about it, the more I dislike Taxol...and probably would dislike Taxotere for the same reasons. This is different I know from how most people experience it. I end up measuring my days by how many bandaids I have to put on...primarily on fingers that are getting inflamed and get worse the more I use them. Then I tend to bang them into things I'm trying to pick up or find my skin/joints on the rest of my fingers/hands becoming hypersensitive and achy or painful. For similar reasons it's hard to sleep under a cover...I just can't get my feet in the right position so that it's not uncomfortable or painful. Will I take it because it is one of the best options for treatment? Absolutely.]

1/20/08: Partial answer: I had to call my doctor today because of a cold/high fever or something. He indicated he knew I had skipped two doses of Taxol and wanted to know how the neuropathy is doing. I said it was much better. It makes me think that this is at least part of the reason for skipping the Taxol twice. So, ok, maybe I don't hate the Taxol so much after all, especially if I have a doctor attuned to what is going on. I see him tomorrow briefly to followup on the fever and then Friday for a regular meeting followed by chemo and/or Herceptin.
