I had A/C, followed by weekly Taxol, followed by Herceptin for one year and am doing fine. My treatment was the protocol for a clinical trial for Herceptin several years ago, and although this treatment worked for me, I know that studies showed that Herceptin actually works better when given together with Taxol. If I were you and had the opportunity to take Taxol together with Herceptin I would go for that since that combination produced the most significant results. I'm sure you can find the citation/link to the studies on this site...best of luck to you whatever you decide!
