I have had 4 sessions of TCH ( Taxotere, Carboplatin ) with weekly herceptin. My oncologist didn't discuss any other options with me. While i read that this seems to be a more common treatment regime for her2+ patients, reading support group members signatures gave me the impression that A/C followed by TCH seems to have longer disease free time. Ofcourse, the TCh regime does let you get on herceptin right away. I wish my oncologist had discussed other options with me. BTW, i am in CA. I heard this is more of a west coast treatment. For those who had TCH, how did it work for you? Thanks
