    Hello I have completed 4 Rounds of "the red devil" and will starts on Taxol weekly for 12 weeks at about 45 min cycles. Thr doc said it "won't be as rough as the red devil (doxorubicin). Does anyone find that to be true? Thoughts. And comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lisa

    Hi Jasplisa

    My girlfriend is basically going thru the same regimen. Did 4 cycle of

    AC every 2 weeks and now Taxol+Herceptin every week for 12 weeks. 

    Tomorrow is the 2nd Taxol+Herceptin session and so far she is feeling a lot better on this treatment than "the red devil".  Of course the bad effect of chemo are cummulative, but I think the worst of the chemo is over. 

    Major concern is if peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet get bad due to Taxol.  So far this is not a major issue
