I did Carbo/taxotere/herceptin/zomeda for 8 cycles of once every 3 weeks, and then the onc. dropped the carbo and I just did the other 3 every week.
Some of the side effects I noticed were twitching eyes and eyelids, runny eyes, weakness in my legs, "grey" complexion, fatigue.
It's doable. You may get every side effect or very few. I can tell you I felt better after about 3 cycles than before I started. By the time I started chemo for mets, I had a huge pleural effusion and my lymph in my chest was so swollen from the cancer I couldn't swallow anything but liquids and jello.
You'll do fine. It's a powerful combo, but it has a high success rate.
