Well.........
If you did do the AC then you would have to go off Herceptin until the AC was over, then you could continue Herceptin afterwards.
Your onc's notes were correct, TCH is almost as effective as AC followed by TH but it has much less heart toxicity due to no A (adriamycin).
Also, the taxanes (Taxotere, Taxol, Abraxane) are excellent chemo drugs, especially for Her2. Using them with Herceptin really gives an extra punch to the way Herceptin works. And you did have Taxotere.
I would be very interested in what a second opinion onc would say about giving AC after TCH (I have heard of AC followed by TCH - I know of at least one member on this board that did this).
Good luck with you appointments and decisions.
Kind regards
Becky
