i’m just gearing up to start weekly paclitaxel and herceptin. I had a local excision on a 25mm lump in June. Tests came back 9mm was invasive no lymph involvement and clear margins but HER2+ It was devastating news as I had banked on just radiotherapy and hormone treatment. Harder because it’s so borderline size wise but I guess you don’t know what pesky cells are left lying around. I’d rather take it now and know I’ve done everything I can to prevent recurrence. Decided against cold capping as it’s a bit much once a week.

why don’t you join our September thread? I’m on weekly Paclitaxol with Carboplatin every third time. I’ve had two cycles so far. I was ok with the first one when I had both drugs, no sickness just felt a bit odd and fluey sometimes and I’d say probably better the second week although I’m only day 3 post chemo. It must have been tough finding out you needed chemo, they told me I would from the very start. Are you having a port or a picc line or sticking with a cannula? I think Paclitaxol is ok for a cannula so maybe you won’t need one x
