I did the taxotere-carboplatin-herceptin. The previous post is right sbout the side effects. There is also a bad taste that you get in your mouth-try different kinds of hard candy. I lost about 80% of all the hair on my head and body. The main problems I had were fever with the first round which put me in the hospital (if you get 100.5 go straight to the doctor or ER) and exhaustion with a generally sick feeling. The general feeling on the board is if you could do AC then this treatment won't be as bad. Good luck-post and let us know how you're doing!
