I have just had my last abraxane with herceptin. This was a very tolerable combination..I worked 3 days a week, went on outdoor ed camps and xc skiing in the worst side effects week. I know that carboplatin gives some advantage in the short term but deosn't show any advantage in overall survival.
Abraxane is twice as effective as taxol and easier to tolerate than taxotere. Perhaps you should think about this combo?
Cheers
