Interested in xperiences with taxotere, herceptin and tamoxifen

hi all!

I started chemo just under three weeks ago and this wed I get my 2nd round of FEC. I'll have 3 rounds of FEC in total then be switched to 3 rounds of taxotere mixed with herceptin. I also have a neulasta shot 14 hours after each round of chemo. The herceptin will continue for approx 1 year. At some point I will also start tamoxifen for 5-10 years

I can't complain about the SEs that I experienced with my first round of FEC. During my first 8 days I had nausea and vomiting on the first day then everything from stomach cramping to mild constipation to feeling wired and difficulty sleeping. The past few days I have felt chilled but all in all I can't complain. It's been doable. Hopefully this will continue

Although I have. 2 more rounds of FEC I can't help but think what might lie ahead with taxotere herceptin and tamoxifen 

I know that everyone is different and have also heard that some have breezed through everything while others have had severe SEs

For those of you that have one through or are going through a similar treatment I would appreciate your sharing your experiences

Funny to think that I was told by my MO that I'm healthy so he is of the opinion that my SEs will be minimal

My biggest fear is that I will not be able to continue my quality of life which sees me as very active

I would appreciate hearing from others so I know what to watch out for

Thanks!  Wishing a good health!!
