Hi Laurie,
I was on Taxol and Herceptin after during 4 rounds of E/C. My nurse assured me it will be much easier to take. And she was so right! As Bonnie mentioned, I too received drugs prior to the administration of the chemo. I never became nauseated as much as I was on E/C (big thanks to the meds of course); just some headaches or wooziness. The metallic taste was still there, but more significantly, Taxol gave me neuropathy - the tingling sensation - on my fingers and toes. It took quite a while for that to go away. Other than that, it was much better for me.
Keeping you in my prayers!
