Starting weekly taxol/Herceptin. What days are the wost?

Mine shifted a little later through tx but for me days 4-5-6 were when I was draggiest (so Mon-Tue-Wed following Fri tx). I never felt bad—just heavy/low energy. The first few days were always really good, probably in part because of the steroid in the premeds. Many weeks Sat and Sun were the only days I went to the gym. That’s actually why I chose Fridays for tx—I wanted to feel good through the weekend

For me the first few weeks were relatively uneventful and the two days following Wednesday treatments were very productive due to the high energy caused by steroid premeds. Food tasted terrible, had a minor rash at first, mouth sores quickly disappeared with magic mouthwash. I started feeling tired with some neuropathy toward the end of the 12 weeks. White count tanked and got an infection, but all in all I only missed one day of work. Looking back, it really was do-able, but I realize some are not so lucky. I walked a couple of miles every day, and kept my normal schedule. Toward the end I was tired, but that infection contributed. I did work from home some because my job allows it to avoid exposure to germy college students during flu season. Hair loss started at about 21 days (February). I did hire someone to help with cleaning because I hate a dirty house and working full time was enough. I had enough hair back by August to ditch the wig and sported a short curly head. I finished Herceptin this past February. Fingernails and toenails (which turned black) are finally getting back to normal. Onc said Herceptin lingers and for most takes 6 to 8 months to leave system (I am now almost 8 mos out). Eat healthy, move daily (even if you don't feel like it), and drink lots of water. Tips from this site were unbelievably helpful. I iced hands and feet during Taxol and neuropathy is negligable.I don't even notice it most days. Tell your oncologist about any symptoms, even if they seem minor. Mine was eager to keep life as normal as possible.
