TCH (Taxotere,Carboplatin, Herceptin)

[bmorr7]

Hi,

My wife has Her-2 positive, ER positive invasive ductal (0.8 cm) with extrensive high grade DCIS (6.2 cm). Rachel just had a bilateral mastectomy with negative nodes and her oncologist wants her to have six rounds of TCH (Taxotere, Carboplatin, Herceptin) with the Herceptin continuing for 1 year. From what I read, this regimen is less toxic than other regimens but still very challenging. Rachel is afraid to try this - can others comment on their experiences with this regimen?

Thanks,

Ben
