I will be having my first treatment tomorrow of Taxol and Herceptin for 12 weeks. I am very very scared. All input is appreciated.

Well first treatment went well. Felt some low back spasms after Herceptin finished but subsided when the taxol started infusing. I hope they all go this way.

Thank you for sharing! I will be following this thread.

How do the side effects feel today? What did doctor say you would expect? Hope you are feeling better today!

Second day post treatment and feeling a little tired today and short of breath but I think that is due to my new blood pressure medicine. Definite difference today but really not too bad.

@Courtney_J I am getting very nervous and scared because the surgery is July 13, 2021. My parents both died this year so I dont have them to talk to. My mom died on Feb 16, 2021 with a sickness she was suffering for 18 months so i was dealing with that for the last months and then my dad had a major stroke 3 weeks after my mom passed away and he could no longer go back to his assistance living so we had to find a nursing home. We found one he was only in there 3 weeks and then he passed away on May 6, 2021. Right after all that I was diagnosed with cancer so I have been on a train that is non-stop. I feel like I am so tried out and I dont have much energy left. My sisters are not helpful they keep telling me just pray. They both got to take 2 weeks vacation after my mom and dad passed away. I have not even had time to take a breather I am just on the train of bad luck. That is how I am feeling.
