I'm glad you were able to come to a decision. It is so tough to come up with the "right" solution. We are making critical life decisions based on ever changing research. The best we can do is educate ourselves as best we can which you were smart in doing and then hoping it was the right choice. We are looking at studies from past years and who knows what the studies will show in future years? You just have to find a way to keep your chin up and stay hopeful.

As for me I did four rounds of taxotere and cytoxan followed by one year of herceptin which turned out to be only 12 rounds. Perhaps if you do carboplatin you need the six rounds? Like one of the other posters felt, it is scary to see all the six round people and not many four round. I saw two oncs who had the same treatment protocol one of whom was involved in the clinical trials for herceptin so I was/am confident in his philosophy. In a way I'm glad I didn't do six rounds because I broke out in an very bad case of hives after round three and I was on so many drugs to keep it under control I would hate to think what it would have been like to have to do the two additional rounds.
