Herceptin Boosts Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in IBC
 

More on the protocol
 

I was not diagnosed with IBC. However, my surgeon suggested neoadjuvant chemotherapy as a "breast conserving" tactic. My Oncologist agreed with the plan and prescibed Taxotere and Carboplatin plus Herceptin.

My tumor shrunk 50% after 6 (every 3 week) cycles of chemo and four months+ of weekly Herceptin prior to my lumpectomy.
