Anyone do Taxol and Herceptin only?

Hi,

I was diagnosed a couple months ago. I've had lumpectomy and SNB. Good results (I know I'm lucky). Tumor only 1 cm, negative nodes, clean margins, no lymph-vascular invasion. ER + and PR + and Her2+++ (IHC).

I'm being offered standard AC + Herceptin + Tamoxifen or TC + Herceptin + Tamoxifen or Taxol + Herceptin + Tamoxifen.

It has been explained to me that the last option Taxol alone with Herceptin will have the fewest side effects but be just as effective. I have to have radiation on my left chest anyway.

Has anyone don't Taxol and Herceptin alone? Please let me know what you think. I have to decide soon and I'm not sure what to do.
