My treatment
I also had IDCIS Nov 2006. Radiation was not an option because I already had radiation from a previous DCIS. I recently complete 6 rounds of taxotere, carboplatin, and herceptin. I am currently now on herceptin only. My oncologist had recommended the TCH and to be sure, I went for a second opinion with Dr. Mark Pegram and he agreed with the recommendation. I am glad I did all 6 rounds and feel I made a very good choice. My ONCOTYPE was low-intermediate.
Both yours and my dx is very similar.
