Hi

If I read this right you are having 6 cycles of chemo.; one every three weeks. That is pretty standard. Carboplatin/taxotere is an excellent combo. with herceptin. I had 6 cycles of taxol with herceptin and wanted to add in carboplatin due to trial results showing it more that doubled time to progression but wasnt able to. Platinum drugs are profoundly synergistic with herceptin so you have good "medicine" there.
