Platinum Salts Brca1&2

Hello Tomatojuice,

I had seen a posting from Jean that showed similar results on a study comparing TCH & TH. So I felt pretty good going with just TH.

However, I'm waiting on the results from my BRCA tests too.

I saw something on Wikipedia that mentioned that the Platinum Salts were 20 times more effective with the BRCA gene mutations. I thought I'd research that more while I'm waiting for my results.

Maybe someone else in the group is more familiar. If I find something informative I'll let you know.
