YNieves,
I am not certain that you will wish to wait a protracted amount of time to do the Herceptin. One of the reasons they feel TCH has been showing results that are so positive against Her2 cancer is that the Herceptin is begun with the initial treatment. I am no authority. I am wondering if your docs have considered a more modest dose of both Taxol and Herceptin?
Please post this question on a separate post so some of our proper heads can respond. It is lost here on this thread and it seems quite important.
