I am guessing the C is carboplatin? Has a lot of unpleasant side effects. Apparently the long term data on taxol/or taxotere plus herceptin shows it is just as good without the carboplatin. Perhaps rather than not have any chemo have just TH which would be much more manageable. Also taking some "Immune support" (Greenridge) which has reishi mushroom extract in it ...will up your white blood count and stop some of those other side effects..worked for me. I took it a few days after chemo and stopped 3 days before the next one.
Cheers
