I was dx 5/05 at age 27. Stage IIIC, her2 5.16 FISH, ER/PR-, 30/34 nodes. I had dose dense AC followed by taxotere, carboplatin and herceptin. To my knowledge, carboplatin is not yet approved for early stage treatment. My onc was willing to give it to me "off-label" as it has been safely used in many of the herceptin trials with positive results.
