Hi Chelee,

I was catching up on reading posts, and came across yours.
Yes, I got T/C/H first , then A/C, then Herceptin alone for a year. I was in a study at Dana farber in Boston. It showed the women who received this combo had powerful results. That T/C/H was strong stuff. It shrunk my tumor from 6cms to 0.3 cm. I then had a mastectomy. I still needed a mastectomy because of alot of calcifications...so There is proof the T/C/H worked. I got the A/C post mastectomy. Had a little trouble with low counts after such cumulative chemo but I feel good now...still getting Herceptin till August.....Good luck! Love, Janet in CT
