Hello Pippin24,

Starting a new treatment regimen can understandably bring up some apprehension, especially when you're transitioning to a stronger chemotherapy drug like Docetaxel and adding in Herceptin injections. It's completely natural to feel this way, but it's great that you're reaching out for support and insights from others who may have experience with this combination and I hope you'll find just that among our members here.

In addition, it might be a good idea to communicate openly with your medical team about any concerns or questions you have about the potential side effects as they can provide you with personalised guidance and support to help manage any challenges that may arise.

The other thing I wanted to mention is that we have some information on our website about Docetaxel you might find interesting to read, if you have a moment. Alternatively, if you feel like asking some questions to our team of nurses, they'd be happy to chat with you Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on this freephone 0808 800 4040.

Wishing you strength and resilience as you embark on this next phase of your treatment,

Renata, Cancer Chat Moderator
