TCH vs Standard method
These are the 2 methods of treatments recommended to me. My oncologist did a mugga scan of my heart and said that will probably determine which way to go. Does anyone know any other side effects to the standard method besides the adriamycin causing heart damage that would want me to go with the TCH. I'm not really sure which way to go at this point.
Standard
Cytoxan and Adriamycin once every 2 weeks for 4 treatments
Taxol and Herceptin weekly for 12 weeks
Herceptin every 3 weeks for 40 weeks.
TCH
taxotere and carboplatin every 3 weeks for 6 treatments
Herceptin weekly for 18 weeks
Herceptin every three weeks for 34 weeks.
